Holmes, R. 1959 2. Avenaria interpres 13 June Barrow, Alaska 2 pair seen along the gravel area near the dump (behind the house). One pair flew off to another gravel area about 50 yards away, but the other pair seemed reluctant to move and when they finally flushed, they returned to the same area. A few minutes later a lone individual tried to join these 2 and was driven out by apparently the male of the pair. This was accomplished by a chase for about 30 yards. The male returned to the female. 15 June Barrow, Alaska At least two pairs were still in the same location. No interspecific stuff was observed today. Both pairs seemed to become very excited when the observer approached the area. 18 June Barrow, Alaska. Several pairs spent the stationary around the stream area and also near the dump. Several chases were noted among members of a pair and among one member and an outsider. The territorial boundaries could have been established.
