R.B. Hamilton 1915 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.
