1009 (cont) - backed Sandpiper called a Dunlin by Peterson.
The bird gave a series of calls while on the ground
and continued in flight that sounded like a
Hyla or pseudacris call. (see p. account)
1030 We now walked further east across a road
which comes from the east side of the camp.
East of me I see an American Golden Plover
(see p. account). I also see 4 Pectoral
Sandpipers feeding and calling near a barrel
set in the tundra. (see p. account).
1040 Via circling back to camp now and I
still see a L. Targer, S. Owl, L.B.
Sandpiper, and a Pectoral Sandpiper.
1115 Arrived back in camp to compile notes and
see Dr. Patelka concerning this afternoon's
activity.
1330 Karl Tolman and I left the camp to head
east to survey the tundra for shore birds and
the like. We walked west on the beach road
to the FNA installation and here saw a Red and
Northern Phalarope pair feeding in a
small, rough-like canal. (see p. account)
1350 Just walked up on Willage Ridge (according to
Karl) and have sighted 17 Pectoral Sandpiper
