Gilmore RED SPOTTED BLUETHROAT 1931 Igara, Point Hope, Alaska, Arctic Ocean Aug 17. Spec. 1901 was the first I have seen & was taken among the old house ruins of the old village site. It had been in a damp depression & suddenly flew up in front of me and lit about 30 yds away on a better point of vantage. There I secured it & the detonation of the native that was the house pits, climbing out to see what was going on. The distinctive color feature was the rich reddish brown tail coverts, which are flashed conspicuously in flight. August 23 Noticed several about the old village site this morning but The I chased them assiduously they failed to select & become "size" Splendens. They continually skirled about the ruins, kept keeping well out of sight until they took wing with a rapid dodging flight for a hundred yards or so & then the performance was repeated. No call notes noted.
