Holmes, R. 1968 Etolia alpina 25 June Dersante, Alaska Another nest was found today near the wanga. It is located 80 yards west of 1st nest along the arm ridge which extends in that direction. It also is located on the top of a low, grown crown polygyn (by this I mean, polygonal which have only shallow troughs and appear to be only small mounds). 26 June Barrow, Alaska Two pairs were in the vicinity of B.A.C.S.; their nests were not located. In the evening, 4 birds were collected in the area between Britton's & Uth's Areas. All (Aves [35, 1%]) were well along in the wing molt. Pileate reports seem very much to ears as to 21st. In general, the redbodies were hard to find, and displaying birds were heard only occasionally. 27 June - Several displaying birds were present along gasoline ridge & in the area of Nest #2 (see map). Wing molt seems to be going on in nearly all the birds. Nesting is the main activity now; territorial disputes are seen occasionally.
