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.
