Dendroica coronata May 20 Point Barrow, Alaska - As Thompson and I were leaving the mess hall at lunch hour one was squatted in the gravel street 60' away. Presently after hopping about it flew off over a Sunset hut and we were unable to find it. Late in the afternoon the pilot reported the bird again near the mess hall, inside a steam valve box which had the cover partly slid back. I wait over at 5:30 pm. and did not see the bird in the box. Suddenly it appeared, lit 10' from me, and hopped about not very energetically and with the plumage greatly fluffed. I stepped back and the bird entered the box to rest on a sill 8" from the top (box 4' square and 3' deep). After a few seconds it came out and forged on the gravel and about a light accumulation of trash about the mess hall door. The bird was in bright plumage with white throat and yellow spots very fresh looking. May 21 I did not see the warbler about the base today but this evening I found it dead on the lodge inside the steam valve
