JPLayers 1979 Journal 5 NARL, Barrow, North Slope Borough, Alaska 13 June (cont'd) there are even more (33 ha and 36 ha respectively). In part years we have been lucky to have 2 on each grid. The high number here is particularly intriguing given their lower than usual density at Meade River. Arenaria guttata - normal density, 1-2/grid. Calidris melanotos - intermediate densities of grids 8 and 9. Lot much saw actively on Grid I, but transects reflect tremendous numbers in the very lowlands. C. foxiollis - more around this year than any year since I have arrived (1973). Displaying on grids I+2. C. bairdii - abundant - many more than usual on Grid I - up to 489 C. alpina - normal or slightly lower density. Wing molt already C. pusilla - normal of 5-7/grid Tryngita subbryiollis fine McCaffrey + Geldman they have a small fleck on grid 3. Probably 3 birds. Limnodromus scolopaceus - a few displaying birds Phalaropus fulicarius - low density as yet on the grids. Ph. lobatus - seen every day, probably breeding behind camp. Stercorarius parasiticus - rare but around. S. pomarinus - looking around everywhere in low density. McCaffrey saw the first breeding display today. I doubt many will breed. I have yet to see a dimming on the tundra this year at Barrow. 2 young and one adult were in camp this evening. Larus hyperboreus - the usual mass is at the dump. 71000. But I haven't looked there over. Nycticorax scandiacus - none around Aso flammeus - a few were around before I arrived.
