P. DeBenedictis 1965 Calidris pavidil 28 June Barrow, Alaska - found a nest with one egg NEST 2 on a levee grassy area. The nest was in low grass (=C. pusillus) and fairly well concealed. Saw a # of birds flying inland over dispersed area both in the morning and in the evening but couldn't find any but 2 (both of which appeared to be disturbed) feeding. The 1st nest we found was empty in the evening & no birds were in there. 29 June Barrow Alaska - saw a 4 egg nest in a grassy area on high polygonal ground at the end of gasoline Ridge. There are a few more pairs to be found but they are clearly not as common as they were age Semipals, (cyc.). They seem to prefer higher ground for feeding than do Semipals and feed in a similar way although remaining in one area for longer periods of time. Still have a little flight song although they were much less noisy today than compared to recent days. One was seen chasing a Semipal, usually giving a wing-up when it approached the water, and latter Semipal was seen chasing a Pavid's. In the evening birds in the Micronest Marsh area, although scarce, appeared to be quite notable [and Nest 2 had 2 eggs. = C. pusillus] 30 June One pair seen on the Beach Ridge and the rest in the area from Micronest to the Lab; no change in the nest & heard only one aerial display. 2 July Heard two aerial flight songs, both from mated or 2nd fall clutch. All the nests are accompanied by pairs and one new nest was found; no changes from yesterday
