Maclean 1968 Calidris melanotos 1 June At Barrow - found 2 birds keeping near some redbacks on the Beach Ridge. Collected 1 - a ♂, about 86 grams. 3 June Stopped on grassy opening in snow in Voth area and collected a ♂. Waited a few minutes and another ♂ came in. Collected this one too. These were heavier than above bird - good sign. These were the only pectorals seen today. 4 June Saw a ♂ at the N. end of Pitelka's Plot at 2:30 P.M. In the evening I drove out to the area of the gaswell. There [illegible] was a number of ♂♂ pectorals there, scattered about an open area ca. 6 acres in extent. Birds were keeping singly or in small groups. Saw no fighting, but did see an active chase involving 2 birds. The birds looked big and healthy - took 2 and both weighed in the 90's g. I'm optimistic. Have seen no ♀♀ yet, but there may have been some in this flock this evening. There appeared to be about 15 birds. 5 June Saw the first ♀ - a lone bird in the Voth area, So. of the creek. Collected it - 70.6 g.
