June 3 Point Barrow, Alaska
Three near fresh water lake in mid-afternoon.
They were first seen in flight, but apparently
were started up from the snow for they flew
off about 300 yards and lit. After a minute
or so of standing about they flew off to
the N.E. First record for this season.
June 15 Two at Nunuk, foraging on the flat toward
the lagoon. When approached they flew off
but in a few minutes apparently these same
birds came back. The rusty wash over the
head and neck was prominent in both birds.
June 19 Seven, including 3 immatures foraged all day
in the central marsh area.
