Holmes, R 1963 "Micropalama" himantopus 7 June Barrow, Alaska I bird with flock of 14 & pectoral slg. - feeding in marsh, boughs along Elsikliff - half way between Wohlschlag & Elsm lagoon. The bird was large like the 2 OPS + gray in color - mottled back in a Rebowl. Legs were long & in flight they projected beyond the tail - also white upper tail coverts (possibly white lower tail) were conspicuous. The bird fed by probing both water without, or jolted shallow with the soil surface as the pectorals were doing. Our call note here was a relative deep Raw-irk-erk / S. Delatrous phrassive sharp. Lats, who flushed by OPS (during another OPS who was nearby). The skit gave a very sharp, muffled - kik, kik. Micropalama himantopus is now Calidris himantopus ("Stilt sandpiper") per AOU 1998
