Holmes,R. 1962 30 may BARROW, ALASKA given by algern a bairdi - a ratal, root ratal -> a fiell was not heard - The bird descended by floating i out- stitched wings & landing nearby. The call note is not as loud nor as harsh as the Dunlin; & it may possibly be a little higher in pitch. It seems therefore a lay between the Dunlin & Bairdi in the Classificatio logical scheme. Since the bird was displaying so nicely & since it was a mean calm day - I decided I ran back to the lot to get the tape recorder et.al - but when I returned 20 min. later, The bird could not be found. Erolia rubicilla (???) 6 June [=C.alba, see 6 June ?]
