Here they fed upon crustaceans and other small invertebrates washed up by the surf. At low tide they frequented heaps of brown algae where they found hundreds of thousands of fly larvae, mostly marine Chironomidae, to feed on. Flocks ranging up to twenty or thirty and more Dunlins were common. During the frequent heavy storms in August the concentration of Dunlins was especially high in the west corner

During the frequent heavy storms in August the concentration of Dunlins was especially high in the west corner of Boxer Bay where cliffs protected the birds from the furious winds. Ereunetes mauri. Western Sandpipers were common in the wet tundra at Boxer Bay throughout the period of observation from 7 June through. Fig. 5. Nests of Western Sandpipers, a) in wet tundra, 22 June (some blades are bent to the side to look into the nest), b) in dry to mesic tundra, open nest0 27 June Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig.
