Calidris ferruginea
Barrow Alaska
June 25. A bird which was a male was observed in
the N part of Hulah marshes. This bird was
associated with a group of three Reddy Turnstones.
The decurved bill was obvious at 200 yds distance, with
7x35 binoculars. This bird was very reddish underneath
and in that respect resembled a & Red Phalarope.
When it flew a whitish rump was obvious as were
whitish wing-linings. The bird was noticeably smaller than
the turnstone with which it associated. Displays were given
but were not witnessed by me. I did hear a series
of double notes about 3 seconds at then followed
by a number of whistles. The whistles were somewhat
plower like.
