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.
