NAM Verbeek 1966 Pluvialis dominica (4) Some flowers do not seem to breed at all. Saw one such bird, feeding by himself behind AACS. I flushed him twice and he was obviously an unattached bird. 30 June. Noticed a flock of 5 birds standing quietly in the meadow S of Honey Bucket. Distraction display. The female faced me, in which posture the black and white facial pattern becomes very conspicuous. Then her wings were spread to the fullest extent so that the individual primaries were separated from each other at the tip. The wing tips are struck against the ground. One more nest #9 (3 eggs) on the S.W. side of Pitelka's Plot in Central Marsh. 1 July 3 July New nest #11 (4 eggs) to the N. of P's plot. Also saw a group of 3 and 4, 4 G? at various points on P's plot. These are apparently non-breeding birds that are not aggressive themselves and which are also not aggressed against by territorial males. 5 July New nest #12 with 4 eggs N.E. of U.S.C.I.G.S. In the same area I saw a flock of 7 birds. When the female of an other pair I was watching returned to her nest (I did not find the nest) she chased off, on wing, a Bongspur (sex?) who had come to close to the nest. The chase went over some 50 m. 6 July Noticed one flock of 6 birds over the Britton Area. 8 July New nest #13 (4 eggs) W. of North Amundson's Lake. At Nunnivak Slough, we drove the Weasel right beside a nest and Steve took some telephoto shots of the bird on the nest.
