Limonodrome scolopaceus 30 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'40, 70°29'41', Alaska Occasional males singing near the census plot and over lake Agassiz but no group evident. The Bs are still highly vocal, but pairs rarely seen at anytime. 4 July 3 or 4 lone birds seen near Lake Agassiz Almost no singing at all. 5 July A group of 4 seen [illegible] over the flats opposite North deers, but not landing. None seen on the ground deer. 6 July A ♂ flew over the census plot singing a short day, but wouldn't land while I was about. 7 July One seems over the polygon Carry pool, in land if the deers opposite South Creek. 8 July Flushed from Carry pool by lake Agassiz. 9 July A ♂ flushed from a Carry pool near the 3-egg longspur nest. It flew to a shrub and landed, about 30 ft. away, and stood quietly, watching me. It did not go back even after I had backed off about 25 metres. 11 July Still a ♂ down the by the census plot, which probably has chicks. It flushed up and landed about 10 feet away. Then crawled off through the grass. It came ♂ on a sphagnum dyke in a Carry pool area. A mother ♂ came in from the marsh near the Pemmigan nest and stood for a while, quietly watching us. They probably have hatched young now.
