Text Appearing Before Image:
nties and still keep their feet dry. The courtship of the Baird Sandpiper appears to be carried on in absolutesilence. This is in marked contrast to the ventriloquial hooting of the male Pec-toral Sandpiper, or the cricket-like song and peculiar nuptial flight of the Semi-palmated Sandpiper. Brooks (loc. cit.) has aptly described the courtship of theBaird Sandpiper as follows: Only once did I note any courtship activity. Onthis occasion (May 24), the male would fly a few feet above the female, while sherested on the ground, with quick erratic wing strokes suggesting a Nighthawk.Frequently he would alight and raise the wings high over the back as a gull doesbefore folding them. Then with the forearms perpendicular, the primaries 80 THE CONDOR Vol. XIX would be slowly raised and lowered like a-pump handle, generally lowered toright angles with the forearms, sometimes lower. Not a sound was uttered. OnMay 31 the present author witnessed a similar silent courtship at Griffin Point,Alaska.
