Erolia alpina
29.
3 August Barrow - So. Barrow 3, Alaska
indicate poor breeding success, at
merely that they are scattered
during this portion of the summer.
Even so, it takes a considerable
amount of driving to discover
to find any at all.
6 August Barrow = Skvoaik, Alaska
One individual seen on the plate
at Skvoaik. This was the only
Redback seen in the tundra today.
On the south half of Footground Lake,
there were about 75 to 100
Redbacks. Most of these birds
were adults. All were molting -
both dorsally & ventrally. A tail
molt was noted in one
other. These collected. The
wing molt seems to be
nearly complete. There were
the most numerous birds
in the tundra today.
8 August Barrow, Alaska
Two flying juveniles seen
north 1 sea mile ridge in the
morning. They seem to
be very scarce on the
herdier road.
