J.P. Myers 1976 Journal Transsects 6-10, Barrow, Alaska 4 August (cont'd) same high level as they were recorded before; any impression is however, that they may be shifting somewhat in habitat, spreading out into more types. For e.g. I record d several adults along transect 10 in low Carex-Eriophorum r.-unheard of. the ponds are drying to such a point now that duculis and pectoralis can wade across most of them. Thus I'm seeing now 2 spp foraging in situ where last year they rarely, if ever did, probably taking fairy shrimp which usually are the province of red phalaropes.
