AM Verbeek 1966 Limnodromus scolopaceus (2) 26 July. At 18:30 I found a bird with one young, after I had waited about 30 minutes at some distance. While I was taking pictures of the chick (<2 days old) I heard a second chick calling from the edge of the marsh. Took several pictures and collected one of the young. If I am not mistaken this is the first breeding record for Nead River. Later in the evening, 22:00 I went across the river with Tom to check a bird he had seen there, which turned out to be an other Longbilled Dowitcher. This bird behaved as if she had young too. Roger tells me, that on the day he photographed the Caribou, 24 July, he noticed three females, which according to him behaved as if they had eggs or young. 27 July. Prepared the skin of the downy young (NAMU 152). 17 Aug. Back at Barrow, heard and saw one bird fly over the Drum Area. 24 Aug. Seven birds flew over the Drum Area. 25 Aug. Saw a total of 8 birds in the Britton Area feeding along pond edges. 26 Aug. Observed a flock of 28 birds feeding along pond edges on the Drum Area. When a plane flew over, all Dowitchers in the area flew up; an estimated total of 200 birds. They were the most common shore bird on the study area. 29 Aug. Saw only one bird today. It fed along a ditch near the Radio Shack.
