Holmes, R. 1961 Pluvialis dominica 3 June Barrow, Alaska A pair noted on the Beach Ridge. One was collected; the other flew off & did not return. 4 June - A pair seen near Voth's area. In the evening a pair was seen just so. of Britten's area. 1 bird (The ? probably) was seen flying high over Pt Hundre in at least 3 instances. The bird flew with deep wing beats going from ~80° to 109° These were deep Sweeping beats, just rather slowly & reminded me of a Sh-and owl in flight. In all cases, the display landed near its mate but no ground ceremony took place. 5 June Several birds seen flying as described above, All birds seen to be paired. 7 June Pairs are seen here there, but they are not Generally Common. 9 June One bird seen flying high (60't), using the Sleazy flight (like a tern - with deep sweeping wing beats) and giving the beep call continuously. Suddenly he landed near a pair of plovers & raised both wings in the vertical position & gave the de-de-delep Call 3-4 times. The pr. then took flight & The displaying bird followed behind in a mild chase. The ptpl. landed about 200 yds away right from wing up while the pair flew on. - see Ikrovide census sheets.
