Holmes, R. 1960 2. Eremetes pusillus 16 June Barrow, Alaska Two birds were seen chacing around the beach ridge. Finally one stopped, and the other came in next to it and landed. Then one stood up straight with head stretched upward, tail down in normal position and wings dropped. The other hunched over + seemed to be the aggressor one, for it tried to peck at the upright bird who did not fight back. During this pecking, the upright bird remained motionless but alert. After sec. seconds, the aggressive bird flew off, and the "upright" bird resumed its normal position + began feeding. At first, I believed this was a territorial encounter, but the more I watched it, the more it seemed like some kind of pair behaviour. 19 June - I saw the bird displaying along the beach ridge. 23 June Ikrovile (Barrow), Alaska I heard displaying east of the plot near the Short Lake (Ikrovile). No others have been seen a feed in the region during the last 2 days.
