Holmes, R 1963 Cohorn's alpme 2. 30 may Barrow / Alaska one feeding on Voln Creek bluffs. Fwry he flew short distances & gave the bill as he landed (also wings were held up). 31 May: 1 feeding between Wolf-toot-pik sloughs,- 3 south lookpik. All were wary & would not allow close approach. When one landed after being flushed, it kept both wings above its head slightly flared out & vocal- whilst it gave a whining (=trill). This was the only display activity noted. [illegible] 1 June Two feeding together between Wolf-toot-pik- no where seen - nor heard - These Birds are very scarce so far - Some there are laying nests along Elze Bluffs, where we now exposed & very few Dunlin. Two seen together on Voln's bluff- no displays.
