Erolia alpina
28 July Barrow, Alaska
Only 2 groups were encountered during
my travels in Voth's Area + vicinity.
One group consisted of 3 young + 2 adults,
all of which were feeding in a
marshy-muddy area NE ? Voth's area.
The young were flying. The adult
had nearly completed their wing molt,
but the body molt was still under way
on the back. They were in neutral
molt or weak molt. The second
group consisted 1 3 flying juveniles
and 2 adults (790-793).
29 July Barrow, Alaska
Only 1 family group was encountered
east of the Beach Ridge. It consisted
1 1 Ad. and 4 flying young (see 795-
797). One other adult was
seen.
30 July Barrow, Alaska
Only 2 individuals were seen in Voth's Area.
One was an adult ♀; the other a
flying juvenile. They were not seen together,
and I do not believe that they are
part of the same family. This area
near Voth's Due is stagnant
so show signs of depletion, as
is now quite difficult to find
