Beaver 1967 species accounts Golden plover 2 Barrow, Alaska 16 July Steve & I captured an ad. on its nest near FAA. This was accomplished by placing a mist net on the ground near the nest and then flipping it up over the bird as it settled on the eggs. See journal for diagram (pg 48.). Hopefully, other birds will be captured this way. 17 July Steve & I looked at a nest near 4/4 CS - must have young because parents gave displays near by - and we with 4 eggs on Beach Ridge. We made plans to capture the adults by the mist net method. Later - PM - Steve & I caught one adult from each nest.
