JAM Verbeek 1966 Calidris melanotos (1) 7 June. While at the Voth area, where I observed some 40 Red-bached Sand pipers, the first Peetoral of the season came over. It flew in a erratic pattern, diving and rising as it went, much like the flight of a Snipe (except for the diving and rising). 8 June. There were two Peetorals at the entrance of Voth Slough into Honey Bucket lagoon. I noticed one other pair over at Wohlschlag Slough. These were the only two pairs I saw to day - all the areas I checked. 10 June About 1 Mi.S. of Brant Point I witnessed the display of the Peetoral Sand piper. A fascinating display indeed. The bird jumps up in the air and flip-flop along much like a Short-eared Owl. At the same time this breast is puffed up and he makes a series of booming noises - umb - umb - umb. When this has been repeated several times - up to 10 or more he continues for a variable distance rising and dipping down in an undulating fashion, after which he settles down. There was a pair of these birds out there. 12 June Not seen to day: Yesterday I only saw one bird. 14 June North of Wohlschlag Slough we saw two birds flying over. The male gave 5 or 6 booming calls. There seem to be 3 pairs now - One on Beach Ridge, one in the Britton Area and one at Wohlschlag. 15 June Heard a saw one male over the Drum Area 16 June Saw one pair flying over the N. end of the Drum Area. They came from the South and I followed them over Honey Bucket lagoon and then Back South, where I lost them over
