Gilmore Ruddy Turnstone 1931 St. Michael, Alaska, June 8 Quite Common on Marshes. July 20 Teller Mission, Port Clarence, Alaska On flat wide gravelly creek bed I make questionable sight identification of this bird. Black & white is all I can say for the distinctive marks, as it was very shy & would not allow me within gun shot. Point Hope, Arctic Ocean, Alaska. July 29 when walking to reindeer camp I saw several of these birds & shot one which mysteriously disappeared from the small tent at the camp. Evidently these birds rested for they were quite perturbed at my intrusion. Flying about & then alighting on the gravel. They uttered a peculiar cry when in the air. The specimen obtained showed the Typical black & white head & neck, white breast & reddish back. Aug 13 Spec. 1882 was shot on bare gravelly tundra. Another was present which, this wounded, made good its escape. They are the first seen since July 29.
