Holmes,R. 1960 Erolia bairdi 14. 27 June Barrow, Alaska situated in the lower portion of the slope on the north side. The areas within 30 feet of the nest were covered with moss! There was no standing grass + very little fulla, cut grass. The nest, however, was located on top of a pile 1 cut gross which was are 2" high at the rim. This had probably been a lemming works nest that had been converted with a sandpiper put by a hollowing I & cup in the top. There were Three eggs in the nut, and only one bird was present. This is part # 4. When Nest # 2 was checked both birds were present; nest #1 had only 1 bird in attendance. I have the suspicion that the bairdi may leave before the eggs are hatched. This will have to be watched, especially for the possibility of polygamy. 28 June Wainwright, Alaska Only one bird was seen near the site, and it never flys past deploying near the buildings.
