B. Hamilton 1965 Limosé haemastica Jun, 28. Barrow Alaska - A bird at this species was observed in micromat marsh. It was found in the morning by Poul. We all (4) went to collect the bird in the afternoon. It was associating with a flock of Golden Plovers but could be approached rather closely (Dagd). The bird was reddish underneath, when it flew the dark wing-linings were evident. The white bar at the black tail was also evident. The bird also possessed a conspicuous white wing stripe. The bill was reddish towards the base. The bird did not appear to be much larger than a Dowitcher.
