Holmes, R. 1960 Erolia alpina 26. 2 July Ikravik, Alaska pond edges, and they seem to favor a wet marshy seale or the polygon stops. Wing mottling seems to be a universal activity now, as every bird seen today was in this group. Body molt has not been noted. 4 July - Very little activity noted on the census plot 5 July Barrow, Alaska The brook ridge was checked from the gas line to Wollschlag Slough. One bird was collected part of AACs, + one other was seen at the south end of the ridge. No display seen here. 6 July - Voth's Area + Slough were visited + The ridge between Voth's Area + Fortymile Lake was checked. Only three birds were seen; 1 was collected. The amount of activity has definitely slowed down, as very few displays are now heard + birds are hard to find. The wing mottling seems to be occurring rapidly, for many of the birds now have their "gaps" filled in or at least partially so. Body molt was not evident on the two specimens collected.
