Himes,R 1959 7 July Barrow, Alaska These birds are still quite common over the tundra and especially near man-made dwellings or among the drums, etc. One male was singing behind the hut for about half an hour during the evening. Another was heard singing near AHCs in the afternoon. The birds are still often seen in pairs. 8 July Barrow, Alaska A nest was found on the east side of The Butler Building, which contained 7 eggs. Also the "alarm or destruction" note was heard in some hunting just east from the hut who apparently had gone out. 12 July Barrow, Alaska The two nests (one on west side of the Butler building and one in tins) both have young which are about ready to leave the nest. 16 July Barrow, Alaska A few birds are seen on the tundra. Especially near Britton's area are more able. Singing has not been heard recently
