Beaver 1967 species account Golden Plover 1 13 June Barrow, Alaska 1030 In out in an area that is to the west of a road and all the sands. There are a few banks here but not many. I just saw a large black and white headed bird that I identified as a Golden Plover. It is running and the stopping to peck at the ground. It also gave a loud shrill two note call sort of a "wee keep" call. It is a much larger bird than I expected it to be. 16 June Several pairs directly behind camp. Looks like they may nest. 24 June Central marsh now has small flocks of non-breeding (?) or possibly ones that failed to complete egg laying - etc., The flocks are feeding in the wet meadow & disturbed areas at the base of Beach Ridge P.M. Nest of G.P. Discovered in Barrel area today. The eggs are very large. 30 June Flocks in cent. marsh and elsewhere are growing in size. Must be more birds that did complete nesting. 13 July Have consistently observed a small mixed flock of G. Plovers near A.C.s since about a week ago. Other sandpipers in the flock are mainly R.R. Sandpipers and Redrall.
