Calidris melanotus
8 July Meade River Coal Mine, 157°05' W, 70°24' N, Alaska
When I caught it, this & came in to about 7 feet;
She only gave a distraction display once. No other
chicks were seen.
11 July Two &s came up from the nearby Eirghorum-
Canyon area by lake Agassiz near the Black-bully
nest, and stood near the Plover when it gave
alarm calls. They did not greet themselves.
A & gave the alarm reception. I associate with
chicks from a wary wet (saturated splayme.)
Eirghorum-Canyon area near shallow Canyon
pools just south of here. Plovers were not
seen in the shallow pools elsewhere, nor on
the deeper Eirghorum of Swett Ridge.
