Holmes, R. 1960 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.
