Holmes, R 1962 Erolia alpina 23. 14 Jun Barrow, Alaska [illegible] - seemed like counter-singing - both birds were not displaying at the same moment - nor were they in close proximity - at least 200 yards away. Late - 2 birds were chattering by Arctic erratic flyby - pásza through two hurricanes! - each of grobby up to chase! One (with set V wings) - freed & then turning both & given Mr. Churing - Hill before landing. Finally, the chosen bird landed - apparently in his territory - & remained in the alert posture - giving a harsh, grating, 'breeep, breeep, ...' & acting very excited. This was given continuously for 2 min - then a trill - then more of the same. The bird flew up displayed 1st at 15' - then swift rapid wing beat - move up to ~60' - horned m down curved wings when we quivered Napeal - the bird stuck - The ground approach - given by kraa, kraa. After 3 min - the bird was given in the hand set it away & spunster down to the ground - when he beat his wings perfectly up 2 sec. After hovering, then sat normal posture. The flight is not unusually ended until the bird is standing & holding wings
