When another male entered his territory, both birds flew side by side, both giving their aerial display. Three birds (all ?) were seen in the grassy area just north of Wohlgeschloss's Slough. One bird (A) flew to the west and encountered bird B. These two flew about 40 feet giving their booming call. Then A flew back to the east and encountered Bird C. These two proceeded in the flight display until A turned back toward B and the whole thing started over again. 24 June, Barrow, Alaska One male seen chasing two Baird's Sand- pipers away from a snow goose area alongside a pond.
