Remsen, J.V. 1972 Rufous-necked Sandpiper NARL, Point Barrow, Alaska 13 June At 1300, I was photographing phalaropes at the pond at the junction of Gaswell x Village roads when I noticed a very small peep about 75 yards away with a very rusty neck and throat. My first thought was Rufous-necked but I was cautious after seeing a very rusty-breasted Sandpiling the day before. But after getting a little closer, a Sempalmated came into the same field and was slightly larger. The Rufous-neckeds really had bright rusty necks with little or no streaking. There also appeared to be some rustiness on the back and scapulars. The underparts were white, legs dark, bill short - shorter than Sempalmated. They were photographed from as close as 75 feet. 16 June At 1330, I found one at the same place as above, and returned to camp immediately. Dr. Pitelka ordered its carcass to be delivered and L. Goldstein collected it; Pitelka confirmed identification Calidris ruficollis
