JAM. Verbeek. 1966 Pluvialis dominica (6) instead ran ahead of us. The chick still showed yellowish down on its back. There seem to be fewer Golden Plovers than Black-bellied Plovers around. 26 July I have not seen any flocks of Golden Plovers, which I noticed several times in Barrow. 30 July There are very few G.P. left. 5 Aug. I saw only one G.P. during a 3 km hike W of camp. 11 Aug Back at Barrow, I checked the 5 egg Golden Plover nest and I found two of the eggs had not hatched. I had expected that one would not hatch, but it seems that possibly two eggs are only partly incubated. Saw a group of 4 fledglings, still with some down on the crown of the head. They were close together and may have been nest mates. There was no adult around them. On the N side of Gasline Ridge I heard one adult, the only one heard today. 17 Aug. Took the two remaining eggs out of Nest #14 and checked them at home. One had a fully developed embryo, which may have died on hatching or possibly the adult did not stick around long enough. The other had a small embryo in early state of development. 22 Aug At Meade River. I saw one bird bathing itself on the edge of the River. 26 Aug Two immatures on the drum area. 30 Aug One immature along the shore of Imnikpuk between the lake and the DEW line Site 31 Aug In Central Marsh, along the weasel road I counted 26
