Holmes, R. 1955 Phalacrocorax fulicarius 6 July Barrow, Alaska A nest was located S of the drum area and about 50 yards west of A.H.C.S. It was within 6 inches of a small post (4 weeks old) and was well concealed by the surrounding grasses. The eggs were four in number and were light green with heavy, large black or brownish spots near the large end and smaller spots down forward toward the small end. When the male flushed from the eggs, he gave a distraction display which did not appear to us elaborate as the other shorebirds. It hunched over with the feathers back just slightly raised. The tail was dropped, but not spread and the wings were slightly dropping. This display was given for several seconds and was accompanied by the usual sharp 'click' note. Only 6-12 females have been noted in freshwater lagoon during the last few days; None were there during the morning or afternoon today.
