Remsen, J.V. 1972 Phylloscopus ? 11 July IBP Site 1, Barrow, Alaska 0945 - Tom Custer found this bird at the Catle-eater and drew my attention to it. It was definitely a Phylloscopus, and not a Parulid, due to the very small size (near Hinslet), very short tail, and slightly upturned, slightly thickened bill. The only conspicuous field marks were the very yellowish- orange lower mandible, whitish eye-line, and a gold wash in the primaries. The underparts (throat to undertail coverts) were nearly immaculately dull whitish, and the upper parts, forehead, cheeks to upperside tail, were uniformly olive brownish-green. The legs were a dull yellow. The bird was silent. It foraged mainly on the ground, occasionally perching on a low wire, and often sitting motionless as if resting. It was also seen by Larry Goldstein, Jeff Myll, Tom, and Scott Kronberg; Scott collected the bird and F.A. Pilella prepared it for MUZ. It was a non-breeding ♀ (ovq to 1 mm) with fat.
