Holmes, R. 1960 4. Ereunetes pusillus 18 July Barrow, Alaska The nest on the S. side of The B.R. was steel-tort. The bird was incubating. 21 July - A brood of at least 3 young were found today along the edge of Vater Creek near the stock. The chicks were at least 3 or 4 days old. Both adults were present and excited but only the 4 gave the distraction display. They continuous flew around giving The trill call (swo - swoo phoo- just when short sequence for their aerial display). 29 July - Now have been seen during the last week, except for an occasional adult feeding along first waters lagoon. Today, I was collected east of The Beach ridge. It was excited as it it had young around- but none could be found. This bird gave a short series of the regular Ariste trill or a disturbance note. 30 July - 1 juvenile + 2 adults seen across from First lagoon, Tegley in the ponds there. The juvenile was almost flighty.
