Tomich 1953 Erolia alpina June1 Point Barrow, Alaska Two singles in area about 3 mi. S. of base. June2 One seen on mid ridge with a ruddy turnstone; another, same area, with two Baird sandpipers. June3 On ridge area several tinies in the afternoon there was considerable dis cord that was apparently associated with pairing and nesting territories. June6 Two at base today foraging in shallow pools. They were less wary than fairdii and could be approached within 40'. June8 About 10 seen on the tundra today, on the ground and generally in pairs. At other tinies some were flying about over territorial matters. June14 Only one seen on beach ridge this afternoon. June21 A pair of red-bachs is established in the north part of L.E., for one bird alone there obviously attempted to lead me from there by flying for short distances ahead and calling plaintively. July15 One on plot L.E. today, feeding quietly. We have supposed that these birds have nested there but have found no nest. One or two pairs were localized on or near the plot for some weeks. July16 Single adult collected at Voth's Station, a ?, but I could not locate young there. The bird seemed attached to the place. July17 Single individual beyond (A.F.C.S.), but no chicks found.
