Holmes, R. 1962 Erōliā alpina 14 July Barrow, Alaska Nest #12 was empty - a bird nearby was heard giving an alarm note - brrrpg - so the brood may have been off in the distance. I've seen new Eros - I collected no sign of young. The E was incubating at nest #16. It flew off when I was 28' away - flew low to the ground (1-2') - a strong flight, landed 40' away in an area of hypoliths - went running off through the ptys, through a hunched prairie. After checking the eggs - I walked toward the area & found a bird sneaking off - Short A. Tway - shaven, no birdland return. It gave the Tway alarm notes. #18 Nest #18 - 5? incubating - flew off when I was 25' away - gave two calls at it then flew over the ground - landing 300' away & began to feed. As it landed - it gave a partial wing flap - it tried to spread & it fluttered low to the ground - but no more display was observed. A flock of 9 - apparently willow warblers was seen No 1 North area in by Lowenburg. Most these were feeding. 49.
