Phalaropus fulicarius
27 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 78°29'N, Alaska
lakes, and 2-3% and a 7 in two pools in the
clepland polygonal area. One male collected
was diving a 4 out of its territory. Nest was
also taken. She had laid 4 eggs, and her
oviducts were regressing. The largest follicle was
about 4 cm, and still vascular.
28 June Several small groups of phalaropes that were
over during the day included a few Redls,
though Nuthers were predominant. The
rests on the census plot unchanged.
29 June A few in the polygonal areas inland from
camp, most males, and in the marshy
lake margin region, where 3% were
present. A few small groupings on lake Agassiz.
30 June Two or 3% were chasing a out of a marshy
area along lake Agassiz and 2% feeding in
the lake later. Several rest on lake Agassiz but no
groups of %.
1 July Only a few birds seen in the village flats area,
all in flight overhead.
3 July Both nests in the census plot & k. The 7
or one went into a collision like crouch as if to
give a distraction display, but then jumped up
and flew 6-7 feet and crouched again. The
distraction display, if this is it, is as distinct
as is the other behaviors of these cutlers.
