Calidris alpina P. DeBenedictis 1965 8 July Barrow, Alaska - Dunlin were more visually conspicuous today than any other date previously, and I saw 4 birds together for the first time in days. They got along fairly well although one went into a wing up & chased a 2nd bird a 2 ft. for two occasions, never for enough to break up the group. Two scattered pairs and 2-3 lone birds were seen and one was found associated with a small group of Rarituals, and another with a flock of Semipals. When the bird was flushed from Nest 4, it chased the passerine of nest 20 when the latter approached the dunlin's nest. No frog note songs but a fair amount of aerial tills considering the sound. 9 July McLean found a 3 egg nest W of VOTH slough in the afternoon. It was in moderately tall grass and fairly well covered. The brooding bird gave a good distraction display. Heard one complete song in VOTH area in the evening. 10 July A nest with Beggs was found S of [illegible] along the gasoline in the morning and 3, 4 egg nests were found along Elton hugoon in the evening. They are calling more than any of its other shorebirds, the passerine trill heard frequently, but no frog note heard. 11 July This was the utmost the only Calidris seen except [illegible] in the 1 Karovik region. It was a common here as anyplace and appeared to be nesting; best nests could be located; several obviously setting birds were seen and 3-6 parachuting tills were heard; no evidence of flocking noted.
