C. fuscicollis - the few that were around in early June have gone.
C. alba
" " " " " " " " " "
Tryngites subruficollis - probably bred locally this year. See phenology
book. But all display activity on Grid 3 (2887) has ceased. We
see #1 one or two every day.
Limnodromus scolopaceus - With at least 2 pairs using Grid 1,
another 1 or 2 on Grid 2, and 3-4 on Grid 4, this place is popping
with duvithers. Swarth saw a lot of p# pre-copulatory activity
yesterday - see Phenology book.
Cocolla gallinago - This is the surprise of the year. We have at
least 5 males localized + displaying, and at least one has a
mate:
8 locations:
1. Smithsonian Building - a regular that during the last week has been
displaying >70% of his time we have been there. Cackling (see
tape log, tape 4) and wrennowing.
2. Radio antenna at W corner of grid 2. I have heard #8
and #1 displaying simultaneously.
3. NAEI lab - a #8 wrennows regularly behind the lab. It's been here
for 2 weeks at least (see phenology) Had a #4, may still.
4. POO . MAINE - #8 heard regularly there.
5. Town of Barrow. #8 wrennowing over town during afternoon
of 21 June.
#8 is sedentary. It is always there, + includes the corner of
Grid 1 in his display flight. If the other #8's are site-specific as he,
then we have at least 5 in the area.
Phalaropus fulicarius - numbers are very high in the lowlands, but grids 1 & 2
don't boast anything special.
