R.B. Hamilton 1965 Numenius phaeopus Aug. 20 Barrow Alaska - As Dr. Pitelka and I were driving along the road to the Voth Area I saw a large strutting bird sitting on the grass to the right of the road. The bird flew, as we stopped, to the 5 over Family Lagoon. The bird was brownish and there were no conspicuous marks. I could not see the bill but felt the bird was either a Whimbrel or a Marbled Godwit. I could Dr. Pitelka thought it was the former. Eventually the bird called and the call heard was that of this species.
