J P WILPUS 1978 Lagopus lagopus At Kasook on the Meade River, North Slope Borough, Alaska 10 June Lagopus l. very conspicuous now over the entire tundra. Considerable vocal activity and quite a bit of territorial aggression. Watched a pair of 197 running repeatedly up and down their border during p.m. How ungainly, absurd a bird to find in so remote an area! It belongs on a turkey farm. 17 June Lagopus molting to summer plumage. 94 m nests. But territorial activity continues. I heard many display calls while running 76-7/10, and came across a flurry of border battles on the breeding bird plot.
