E.M.Brock 1958 Aug 9 Cape Simpson, Alaska In the morning saw three birds near the camp which I could not recognize. The bill which was black seemed extremely long. These three birds seemed to remain in a group of three, all the time feeding in the water. They seemed to have long legs. They appeared like dunlins in full plumage and yet they would appear to look like pectoral sandpipers. I therefore decided to collect a bird. The other two remained in the area. In the evening I decided to collect the other two birds since I had decided that it was not one of the birds seen previously at Barrow. My equipment for preparing study skins was left at Barrow so that the birds would have to be prepared at the lab. There were only 3 birds seen. Aug 11 Barrow, Alaska One of these same birds noticed in the field, a whitish eye stripe is a prominent field characteristic. About 3 or 4 seen here associated with pectoral sandpipers.
