P. De Benedich's 1965 Limnodromus scolopaceus 5 July Barrow, Alaska - There were only about 30 in VOTH slough this morning, and other than 1 short partial song and a few keek notes they were quite silent. They fed mostly in the creek. In the afternoon several small groups (up to 10) were seen in Central Marsh near Pitelka's plot but no calling was heard aside than the "keek" note when the flocks flew. A few solitary birds but most were quite social, and those in Central Marsh were with Plovers. 6 July There are probably as many in Central Marsh as ever, for the group along the SW end is still there in addition to a group of ~ 20 at the NE end and a few isolated individuals. The small flock at the NE end got up once and circled the marsh a couple of times and landed again, giving the "keek" note while in flight. Heard 3-4 bursts of song, one which might be diagonal -- my ______ and lasted about 1 second. Isolated song elements usually are at terminal trill only. 7 July A pair seen in Micronat Marsh, one of which gave the terminal trill to the song, in the morning. Heard some song from VOTH slough and Dr. P. Pitelka flushed about 20-25 from this area. 8 July A group of about 40 still present in VOTH slough. No song. We found several series of holes in the marsh, all in bare spots between clumps of grass, which we believed to be made by Dowitchers. The proportion of 9's in the group seems to be fairly large.
