Erobia Ferruginea
23 June Barrow, Alaska
Another P was found - about 100 yards
East of the black ridge (curv- magnetic
Stabia) & 200 yards S. of the Sea-plane
landing lake. It was in an area of
small ponds & moderate polygonal
ground - The whine was heard several
times from a distance & the part (a)
any (doubtful) was noted. During the
next hour the bird was watched -
and it chased a burrowi - both birds
flying close to the ground - The Curlew
Selp. giving the Horseshoe note. The chase
lasted only about 30 sec - The C.Sqp
returned & I moved - saw several
whines & remained standing quiet
for several minutes. At the first
rooftop half a bow - it flew N.W.
So.-W. at which time I lost track of
it [it was not here for 20 sec. but
was not found during a casual move
afterwards]. When 1st found - Morylott
saw - 2 birds chasing - but I am not
clear.
25 June After waiting for 10 minutes in the
central activity area on the Beaver
ridge - I heard two whines from
the S.- who was further to the west
