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.
