P. DeBenedictis 1965 Limnodromus scolopaceus 20 June Barrow, Alaska - two were seen flying in from the W and landing in a trough area near the SE end S. Salt hogorn about 1:30 p.m. Not heard but neither need to understand. 21 June Two birds seen in the area where we saw these two land yesterday and definitely this species. They fed in a flooded polygon trough and by rapid jabbing motions sliding only the terminal thirds of the bill in the substrate. 24 June Two feeding in a flooded trough in 2" water with rapid jabs of the bill, inserting only the tip 1/3 or so. They gave a short note rather like that of a Turnstone when approached but didn't flush. 25 June A pair was seen feeding in a flood area at the NE end of Central Marsh and 2 were seen on two occasions near the North area. The pair in Central Marsh gave a complicated, callowing call, a short burst of notes followed by a longer, slightly descending trill. 27 June Saw and heard one on two occasions in the Bavel area and saw one with a golden Plover in flight and saw the same or more likely another in short displays over the polygonized area near West A-B. The flight call given by displaying birds is a "rolling, staccato" "pli-ri-ri-rip" and the display call, given in a flopping flight 30-45 feet up is a "p'p ple-e-e-e-p" or "p'p plu-u-u-u-u-p" similar in quality to the above flight note. The usual "Keek" note was only seldom heard.
