July 12, Sevoonga, St. Lawrence Is., Bering
Sea, Alaska Very common here -
generally found in the wet areas near

Igara, Pt. Hope, Alaska
Aug 4. Saw numerous small flocks
flying west along the north beach &
a few flying east along the south
beach. Migrating south ? - Red less
intense on the breast.
Aug 7 Igara. Saw hundreds of these
"sea-snipe" today. The north beach was
rough under a strong N.W. wind &
right outside the breaker line (70 yds
or so) lay straggling lines of these
birds. These strong out flocks continued
for several miles that I walked along.
On a small lagoon just in from the
beach they were also very common,
feeding nervously at the edge of the
waves & hardly feeding my approach
