Lobipes lobates 3 June Maclell Rivers Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 78°29'N, Alaska A ♀ flew over the village going S about 1 P.M. 4 June 3♀s seen, two resting near a snow patch by the CQ campfire and one in flight near the village. 5 June About a dozen, mostly in ones and twos, all ♀s seen flying from 2 to 5 A.M. One in a puddle behind camp in the early afternoon. They give a loud black-bird like "tock" which I have not heard in migration and don't seem to have the "squeal" of Red Phalaropes. Saw a ♀ in a pool behind camp in the evening. 6 June A few seen flying about and one in the pools near camp. 8 June Two ♀s in a pool near the Coal mine, feeding along the edge, and one in flight near the camp fire. 9 June Two ♀s in a pool on this U.V. lay, not feeding very actively. Several small groups (1-2) going over in the evening. When it sounds like a flock of Blackbirds going over, it's this species. 10 June A few ♀s seen in pools and in flight. One ♀ near camp. Not as common as Red Phalaropes and usually seen only by the village area. 11 June Most close to camp but 1-2 flew are near the south ridge area. 12 June Seen in the pools behind camp and in lake Aggessy only, less # seen them. Phalaropes.
