Holmes, R. 1959 Erolia fuscicollis 4 July Barrow, Alaska about 25 feet below the crest of the beach ridge on the north (NW) side. The ground is rather dry, covered with small dwarf willow, mosses and lichens with an interpersia of grasses (Poa and others). The position of the nest was among the lichens and willow and grasses and was a shallow depression. There did not appear to be an exact lining to the nest, but it was probably formed from the surrounding grass being pressed down and matted when the adult sat down to lay the eggs. Since the eggs had disappeared, the nest could not be easily distinguished from the surrounding tundra. Pictures were taken of the area to illustrate these points. 11 August Pitt Point, Alaska One bird seen about 2 mi S.O. of the coastline on a low ridge (typical mudflats area); however no sign of flying birds was presented. 15 August Pitt Point, Alaska One bird seen near the base. The "chomble" call note is distinctive.
