Holms, R. 1959 Endia mclandtos 24 July Barrow, Alaska Several groups of 2 and 3 seen in and near Voth's Area. Otherwise very little activity was noted. Only two or three broods of this sandpiper have been seen, even though the time spent looking for them has been considerable. 25 July Wainwright, Alaska Two seen near the village between 1230 and 1800. 27 July Barrow, Alaska Three seen so. 1 Voth's Area. 28 July Pit Point Alaska About 6 were seen during 6 hours spent in observation. 29 July Barrow, Alaska A flock of 25 were seen on So. Footprint Lake. This was the only location they were seen at during the whole day. 30 July Barrow, Alaska Two were seen in Voth's Area. Apparently the males have all departed, and just the females now remain. No young have been seen since 18 July. Most of the remaining birds seem to stay on Footprint Lake or other area when there is standing water.
