Erolia bairdi
9 July Skroavik, Alaska
This is the usual procedure at most
of the nests I have found, except one.
Those (west / De Wangja) will at
first give a cricket-fill & two more but
heard to cohere.
10 July - at the nest west of the wanigan, there
were 2 birds at the nest, both of
which became very excited when the
nest was visited. This is the first
time that I have seen two birds at
this nest.
11 July Barrow, Alaska
The nests' nests AACs were checked during
the afternoon. The one near the road
still contains 4 eggs without signs
of pipping. Both adults were present
& active. The Baird's nest at No.
slope of the B. Ridge also has
not begun to pip yet. There was
1 bird present here. A Pair of
Baird's which were quite excited were
seen near the Laval mound a
Pikelka's Census Plot. It seems now
that the pair association during
incubation is poor, in that
the non-incubating bird is away
from the nest a considerable distance.
