450 Gilmore 1931. Alaskan Sandpiper. Unguicula (?) May 29 Solgol Harbor Solgol S., Alaska. Dr. Furness, dentist, killed me & with fully formed egg. May 31 Unalaska Unalaska Bay, Alaska Saw one? - single, down on marsh along Shaishnikof Creek at Capt. Harbor. Sept 17. Unalaska, Alaska All the specimens listed as being smaller Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper probably belong to this species. I was confused at first due to the striking change of plumage. They seem to prefer the boulder-strewn and gravelly sections of the beach and I have not seen them away from the beach here as yet. Among these boulders and rocks they feed with deliberation and when approached "freezes" in position until the danger is past or compels them to take wing. Generally seen singly or in bunches up to five. When one of a flock is dropped, the rest circle back again & again. Seems to be a very silent bird.
