Calidris alpina
8 July
Meadow River Coal Mine
[illegible] (57°02'5"W, 78°29'4"N, Alaska)
Pluvier nest (2) and on the cormorant plot (2). No
clucks seen yet.
9 July
The only double noted by the cormorant plot was
a pair giving clucks from West Eriophorus
(over spagnum; west Coos) to the west of the
pluvier nest.
11 July
Still a pair on the Eriophorus flats near the
Pluvier nest and others (2) on the Eriophorus
flat on South ridge, once in the west
Eriophorus between the Coos marshes south
west of the cormorant plot. None seen on the cormorant
plot. Other than a tendency to stay in the
Eriophorus, can't tell what they are doing,
and am unable to find clucks though they
are probably old birds.
