Jonich 1953 Erolia bairdii June 1 Point Barrow, Alaska About 5 seen at Nuvuk where they were foraging as many as 3 together this mor- ing. Two seen at the airstrip. Several times they sang in flight at both locations, long wavering, and musical sounds. I shot one at Nuvuk. June 2 These birds seen regularly about the base and on the tundra, usually 2 or 3 together in flight that involves territorial dispute, accompanied by songs and calls. June 4 Past two days have shown this bird to be in small numbers, not more than 3 together, at several places on the tundra and adjacent to the base. June 5 These birds continuously in the disturbed area adjacent to the base, singly or as many as four together. There was con- siderable discord among them, resulting in frequent chasings. June 6 The wing display, raising of one wing nearly to vertical, is now frequently given. This morning I saw one bird in the drum area calling just after alighting, and it raised the left wing for several seconds. A brown lem- ing was running easily along the snow edge and stopped, crouching with back to the snow and facing toward the sandpiper
