Footprint Lake during the past few days.
17 July Barrow, Alaska
All nests were deserted (measures) except
#5 which had started to pip. In the
evening, two were out of the eggs, but at
2 they had died.
18 July Barrow, Alaska
Four were collected near Nest #1 which
turned out to be two males. Both have
incubation patches.
20 July Barrow, Alaska
None were seen during the last two
days near Footprint Lake.
22 July Barrow, Alaska
A group of 6 were seen just east of
Viti; five and three collected.
Two of these were males; one female. They
all became excited when the first bird
was killed, and all came closer.
The other two were then collected. They
seemed to be some kind of an association
between them, possibly flocking.
