Phalaropus fulicarius. 1890. Maine (Lake Umbagog). Sept. 15. Killed two adult males and one immature female on the bar at the mouth of the River. They were feeding along the water's edge in company with a Hyperborean (Also shot) Phalarope and were very tame and very interesting. As they ran along the shore, sometimes wading knee-deep in the water, they constantly nodded their heads with a graceful Goot-like motion and alternately presented their beautiful marbled backs and snowy breasts, while the slender neck and head were never still. Their movements were exceedingly rapid and so erratic that they reminded me of ants. As my guide said: "they acted as if cra- zy". Occasionally one would take to the water and swim- ming off a few yards turn over nearly on its back and plume itself precisely in the manner of the Little Auk. At length I fired at two together and killed both, one proving to be a Red Phalarope, the other a Hyperborean. I noticed no difference between them when alive. The two survivors rose at the shot and joined a flock of "Peeps", scaling about with them for a few moments and then alighting in the original place when I killed them. both. These Phalaropes uttered an emphatic zip, zip, very like that of Tringa bonapartei. When flying they showed a narrow white bar on each wing and appeared near- ly as white as Sandling. Their first flight was swift, erratic, and generally similar to that of the smaller Tringae. Irides dark hazel. Stomachs contained small mud worms. 10
