Calidris brachydactyla 29 July Bering, Alaska - one seen in the western part of Holmes' moor. acts like a Semipalmated plover when jaegers are near - it would get up and fly in a wide circle about 30 feet up and covering 3-4 acres, calling "drrr wee", the semipalmated plover-like alarm note, and occasionally a high pitched "drrreeet" version of the flight call which reminded us some what of the whine of the Curlew Sandpiper. It landed in several spots wide apart and no chicks were seen. It fed one fixed in saturated grass 4" high, 25% cover, moss bottom, cutting light, and once on a low centre polygon ridge - wet, grass 2" high, 25% cover, Moss-lichen bottom, light cuttings, while I watched it.
