Maclean 1967 C. bairdii 5 June Saw 2 birds, separately (could have been the same, but I don't think so), over Beach Ridge - the 1st fly up with an active group of 3 alpina; the 2nd flying alone over ridge. No display. 7 June 2 birds or more at Nwuk flying w/ 2 pectorals. Continued to fly with these while ignoring active group of sanderlings. 8 June Conspicuous in their absence - especially in Drum area where semi- pales were v. abundant and active. 9 June Not a bird seen on W. Beach Ridge, in the morning or in the Drum area in the afternoon. 10 June Gasoline area near micro-met - nothing. Similarly - Britton Area. 12 June Finally some activity in the Drum area - perhaps 10 birds spread about and displaying actively. Saw a good chase of 4 birds; later 2; several ♂♂ displaying. Obviously just arrived - no territorial encounters yet. 12 June. In the afternoon checked Village Ridge in the hope that they have arrived there, too. Nope. 13 June Heard display from near North Creek. Saw a pair - 4 with damaged feet -
