Erolia bairdi
10.
24 June Skroavik, Alaska
grosses that the nest has been laid. The 8
or at least a displaying bird
has not been seen in this
area. The nest still contains
three eggs at 1930.
25 June Skroavik, Alaska
The nest contained 4 eggs. A second
bird was seen west of the wanigan,
but I'm not sure whether this
bird is the mate of the one with the nest.
26 June Barrow, Alaska
Two nests were located around ATACs. One
near the frost pile (see page a next page)
contained 4 eggs; one on the south side
of the building near the pool + antenna poles.
contained three eggs. A third nest
far toward the magnetic pole
has 4 eggs. Nest #1 which is located
near the trash pile at ATACs contains
4 eggs which are blotched more heavily
at the large end with purple or brown.
The nest is on a slight mound
in an area that has my low
polygons with shallow troughs.
There is a depression among the
mosses, where a foot, 10-15 cm of
green have been walked down.
