Holmes, R. 1960 "Erolia" melandres 15. 30 June Ikravik, Alaska rectricis only slightly spread, dropped his wings so that they were drooping, and then with his chest "sassing" he walked with a slight swan behind The 4. This happened quickly & the procession looked for 10-15 sec. No vocalization was heard; however, The 8's bird was against the wind ( The wind was strong in the wrong direction). The 4 showed no response to this 8. Her display this time was limited to the period before The 8 began his display. 1 July - Hocke 1970 are still present, but appear to be fewer (or at least have fewer members). A nest was found near the southern end of the plot, but unfortunately was destroyed by being crushed). 2 July - Several small flocks noted today. These seem to be larger birds with better-developed chests. It seems probable that the males which have held territories are now beginning to aggregate. Only 2-3 8's were noted today. The nest near the water was checked. There are still 4 eggs.
