P.D. Benedict's 1965 Calidris canadensis 2 July. Barrow, Alaska. One ♀ (West 4) sat very tight and almost jumped into my hand when she got off, and gave the open winged distraction display only 2 feet from my feet; I might have caught her if I'd wanted. Got a distraction display from a ♂ which appeared to be well away from a nest and as usual the only feeding birds seen were well up on the low polygons. 4 July. I checked Nests 3 and 5 today, both having eggs and attended only by a ♂ which sat very tight and gave good distraction display; they quiver the wings in the display. See 2 possibilities for this locale. 6 July. A nest with 3 eggs was found on a rather barren raised polygon ~½ way from Hickamet to the Bow site on the Weasel track to DSC+GS shack. A ♂ got off the nest and yelled loudly at our approach but was not joined by a 2nd bird nor were any other seen nearby. 7 July. All the nests behind the lab were checked in the morning and at all only one bird could be located; however at nest 6 a bird which I though was a ♂ landed giving a trial in a V-gliding position and I heard what I took to be canadensis song somewhere around nests 4 and 5. The ♂ on 6 sat very tight, almost allowing me to touch her and allowed approach to 2 feet. A pair was seen in the polygonized area E of AACS. One song and a single bird (not the same) seen in the VOTH area. 10 July. The pair Soy Fresh lake hill have 3 eggs, and only one bird was seen at the nest.
