Daniel 1953 Erolia melanotus July 26 Point Barrow, Alaska Twice when we came into the area in the Censusing the bird flew short, but made the display only once, a slow labored flight in which the bird gradually planed to the glass about 75' off and fluttered and ran about after passing near me. Aug. 4 Flock of 6 or 8 in Central Marsh; young allato fly among them. Aug. 8 Some of these mixed in flocks of Baird Sandpipers at slough near Village, but generally these birds occur in small flocks of their own species in the marsh areas and are possibly the most commonly seen shore bird in Central Marsh.
