Tryngites subruficollis
17 June
Saw 2 birds flying about from
lawn of Nate and Bonnie Nealeak's
house in Barrow. Pitelka reports that
many birds have moved into the area in
the past two days - not like '64, but
still a good number of birds with good
activity.
18 June
Spent the day in the polygonized
upland area East of Footprint Lake.
There a number of scattered individuals
were encountered feeding. Probably A
different birds were seen. One of these
did some wing-waving, but no other
display.
19 June
3 birds on Polygon North of
Micro-Mer. 1 displaying o^ was giving
arm-pit display and twice rose into an
H. Display was consistently directed
toward the west, but no other
buffy could be seen. 2 others -
presumes FF - fed quietly around
the mound on which the o^ stood.
Finally the FF came together and
stood quietly in a polygon trough
and the o^ came down and stood
quietly on a slight mound above
them. o^ has only 1 functional leg.
2 other buffies were feeding
