Calidris melanotos 17 June Meagle River Coal Mine, 153°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska and 78 during. Fewer 9s in evidence. Seem to be in and around the Camp passes as usual, and as hard to see or ever. 19 June At least 2 8's on the plot and still singing a bit. 2 9's in the area. When I investigated a k-Tail Jaeger acting strange, I found a nut with 2 eggs in-tact and a eaten-out egg shell near by. The jaeger looked like it had eaten another egg. The 9 pectoral was about 10 m away and gave a weak distinction display when I approached. The eggs were still in the nut. 4 hrs. later, but cold. 20 June A couple seen in the polygonized area on the bluff of camp in the evening, not feeding. 20 June The most conspicuous solidine - or sheldrid - in the polygonized area NW of the village - 2 8's and 2-3 9's being seen. No 8's. A couple at the village fields. One 9 seen flying actively south along the river, once nearly landing on the wind gauge near camp. Two 8's fighting near the village, circling, wear each other with the back feathers puffed and then jumping in the air, but no contact made; the whole fight like 8's fights seen in others of this group. Semipalmated and Sanderling at least - 21 June The last two eggs, now cold, of the pectoral unit on the plot eaten by a parasitic jaeger after I moved time in the wet, about 11 A.M. Two 9's and 1 8 on the plot, both 9's with nests. A Semipalmated-Pectoral close seen once. No song.
