Tomich 1953 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.
