Holmes, R, 1962 Erolia ferruginea 8 June Barrow, Alaska The birds of this species were seen with a group of 3 Pectoral Sandpipers in a small grassy patch [remainder surrounded by snow] on the south side of Whistler Flough - 100 yards in from Elbe Lagoon. I shot the larger of the two - when was also the lightest in color & it turned out to be ? - Perhaps there were 2 ?? - rather the pair ??? No calls were heard - The birds were feeding actively - In the same manner as the Pectoral or Dunlin - pecking at the surface of the ground - not probing.

It could not be located during subsequent check.
