Holmes, R 1960 Erolia bairdi 5 July Barrows, Alaska road, north 1 AATs was infert, + a bird was incubating. (only the one present). [At the next - east 1 AATs by the road - There appeared to be 2 birds present]. 6 July - None seen in Voith's Area or vicinity They have not been heard displaying notes for several days. 8 July Skroavik, Alaska The 2 nests near the wanigan were checked + both still have eggs. When the one nest near the plot was checked, the & became very excited + as 2 knelt by the lake nest, she checked right in front of my face. I believe it would have been possible to get her if I had wanted to. There is still only 1 bird present at each nest. 9 July - Both nests checked, and both still contain The 4 eggs. The usual call give by a bird when she first leaves the nest is a short trill which can be likened to the call of a cricket. This coer is often given during the first few moments of disturbance, then the bird turns it into The whining, while she stones several feet away.
