P. DeBenedictis 1965 Red Phalarope 17 July Barrow, Alaska - for a change they are now out numbered by other birds along the 50th creek area and are seldom seen elsewhere. 20 July Found a 3 egg nest about 25 yards south of the nest located east of line II on July 14 and a 4 egg nest along the weasel road near the [illegible] micronut shack on the Beach Ridge. No signs of hatching and no ts present. 21 July Birds widely dispersed. No nests found but no effort made to do this either. 22 July All seen were lone Ps. The nest near the O end of Line II B with Beggs as usual; the P sitting light. 23 July All were lone males. The nest along the Centend Marsh Rd. just N of the Beach Ridge empty. 24 July All seen were lone males. About midnight a male was flushed from 4 downy chicks that must have left the nest in the morning. They scattered when 1st frightened and were not at all prone to squat; Two took to the water in a shallow, grassy pool. The hood scattered so that I was about 40 feet from the other, which were about 15 feet apart. The P became quite solicitous and began to wood the chicks, which "peeped" constantly, even though we were quite close. When it began to brood it gave a series of soft, rough notes ("Hutton Circo note - ~~~~") and the chicks all began to move toward the male. They got together very quickly and the P would wood them.
