Acanthus hornemanni
May 20 Point Barrow, Alaska - Two, seemingly a
pair, foraging quietly at 1:30 p.m. on the
tundra south of the permafrost installation, about 1/4 mile out in the open and
near the lagoon shore. Here there was
no bare ground but the higher
grassy tufts were only thinly covered
with the dead erect vegetation in view.
Again at 6:30 p.m. a ? and ? were feeding
where the village road leaves the base.
May 23 Two at permafrost installation this after-
noon, foraging with snow bentings
June 1 Three at Nuvuk the only ones seen all
day in several hours on the tundra.
June 4 Birds, a few, calling flight at AFCS station
in early afternoon. None seen in several
days on open tundra.
June 22 With Thompson I saw one foraging among high
polygons along the salt water lagoon, and Thompson
picked up a dead one there.
