Ereunetes pusillus. Seishpalmated Sandpiper. 

 One specimen obtained. 



Ereunetes occidentalis. Western Sandpiper. 



By far the most numerous of the shore birds ; in fact I 

 think their numbers would equal all other species of shore 

 birds combined. Large flocks were seen daily during migra- 

 tion, some of them containing hundreds of individuals. A 

 single shot into such a flock resulted in the killing of sixty- 

 four specimens. 



They arrive at Homer about the middle of August and 

 remain until late October. 



Calidris arenaria. Sanderling. 



Tot anus melanoleucus. Greater Yellow-leg. 



Heteractitis incanus. Wandering Tatler. 



Actitis macularia. Spotted Sandpiper. 

 Breeds commonly along Sheep Creek. 



Numenius borealis. Eskimo Curleav. 



One was taken on the barren grounds of the Kenai Moun- 

 tains and it was fairly common at Homer during August. 



Squatarola squatarola. Black-bellied Plover. 



Charadrius dominicus fulvus. Pacific Golden Plover. 



At Homer, several specimens were taken during August ; 

 on Popof Island, December 15. 



^gialitis semipalmata. Semipalmated Plover. 



Found breeding about the glacial morain on the south side 

 of Chugachik Bay.
