Passerceilus sandwichensis 25 May Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska I found one bird feeding with a few longspurs in a grassy, willow ridge-top along the River, SE of camp in the AM, and later saw 2 birds, one of which chased the other, giving a short song while in flight, in grassy riprap ridge behind the lab. The birds seem to be afternoon were 3 with longspurs in grassy-willow high polygons c. 2 mi. N of camp along the river and 4 in tall-grassy polygon ridges along the river in the feet just NE of the village, all the birds were quiet. It evident could be a fairly common bird there. 29 May One seen near the lab in grassy-loam polygon areas and possibly another along the Meade River in grassy-willow dunes c. 2 mi SE of camp in the evening. 30 May One or two near camp and along the creek and two or three in the polygonized sand dunes 3-4 km N of camp. One bird chase and o will song observed. These birds seem to like grassy areas more than the longspurs. One flushed from the grass along the river near camp about 10:30 P.M. 31 May At least two were along the creek and around camp this am. Heard one song. One seen in the "creek plot" area. They seek safer areas where the grass is tall and they can get out of sight. I now wonder if they are going to stay around.
