Calidris alpina 25July Barrow, Alaska. - adults were widely and conspicuously spaced in the area south of Itravik, mostly at the margins of dry wet flats well covered with grass around the large lakes. Three broods of young were seen, all the chicks wild flight (feather capsules- still down tipped - projectile, about ½ inch) and the body feathering downy. Three chicks were found at two of the broods and 4 at the other. Little song. One adult by a click caught for photography gave a sharp "tsch" note in space series — — — — — and so on, each time pulling the head down and flipping the tail up; the whole effect was quite rail-like. It gave a call intermediate between this and the "Kerrit" flight call when it flew. 29July One with two clicks about the size of those above along the edge of a small pond in Holme's Harbour. The chicks were seen in a fairly dry, grassy area but were fleeing when I¹st saw and the adult was feeding in a fairly wet area when found. No flocks seen, all birds appear to have young.
