So far on in rather dry situations,
either on the high ridge or on high
dry plyphs. They have all been

6 July Barrow, Alaska
Several nests were found and/or
rechecked today. The two previous
described were checked and
incubating birds and eggs were
still there. Two new nests
were found in the same vicinity
and are shown on a map
Most of these
nests were in pairs. Note: The second
bird was still around. The above-
mentioned map shows the
nests and the pairs. The two
new nests were also in rather
dry position and on low dry grass. The eggs are not
concealed from view by
the grass but one quite

found in the middle of the
Drum area, about 20 yards
from the eastern barrels.
It contained two usual brown eggs
