JPMayers 1976 Calidris maruri Atkasook on Ulicade River, N. Slope Borough, Alaska 29 May 1st customs of the year, flying in small flocks on the tundra, landing by camp. Brief visit of a display by a bird near the airstrip 30 May The displaying bird at the wood of the strip has multiplied and become 4 minimally. By 0800 they were displaying constantly, chasing in flight + giving full expression to the buzzing song. Watched one 8" (by behavior) as it flew up + hovered over us, singing: its legs were not hanging, [illegible] even though the body angle was far from horizontal. It [illegible] gave the song in flight, hovering, then again in chase with 2 other 8's, 1500 returned to the same spot. Display activity down considerably. One 8" still calling 1/5 min or so. It was most intent, however, on feeding. At one point it flew up, circled around, + then gave the song on the ground. 17 June see journal NAEL, N Slope Borough, Alaska
