Tomich 1953 Turdus migratorius May25 Point Barrow, Alaska- One at 3:20 p.m. feeding on a bare spot of earth just east of the supply piles. The bird was watchful to- word me 100' away as I repaired a bird trap. When I rose it flew slowly a- round for 60', and then came back to another bare spot 20' from the first. It was reluctant to fly off and it was apparently not attracted to the ridges and drifts of snow over which it had flown when disturbed. The bird was silent. On May 16 robins were abundant at Fairbanks and called and sang frequently. May26 One at 7:20 a.m., and at 10 a.m., 2, in the drum area where one was seen yesterday. Both foraged independently on patches free of snow, and again were hesitant about leaving these places or landing in the snow when disturbed. Both were silent except for a feeble hut-hut-hut call by one as it flew off as I came to a bird trap nearby. Two robins repeatedly seen through the day in the area adjacent to the base, as described above. May27 Two this afternoon in same area as before, but by 7 p.m. the birds were not to be found. Foraging on bare spots continues.
