Holmes, F. 1959 Erolia Bairdii area around Voth's Slough. Once a pair was seen to copulate, at this time they had been standing on a small patch of exposed tundra. The birds are often seen chasing low over the snow with a climb to considerable heights at times and then return to their low flight. These chases are all accompanied with a fast chattering note. 13 June Barrow, Alaska One apparently injured bird seen feeding in the drum area. Due to moderate SE winds, there were no displays seen or heard. 15 June Barrow, Alaska Several flight display songs were heard this morning, but none were seen. There seem to be very few of the species in the drum area. 16 June Barrow, Alaska Very few seen! This species. It seems that when the wind is blown, they stay low to the ground among the grass. A few singles were seen along the gas well road
