Crymophilus fulicarius. Lake Umbagog, Maine. Phalaropus fulicarius 1884 September 18th 30' Oct. 2nd 6' Oct. 2 Two on the flooded meadow at the Outlet feeding in a patch of grass. They knew about my activity apparently picking something from the green stems. Their motions were exceedingly graceful, their necks long & slenider. They allowed us to approach within short range & I killed both with one shot. This is the first time I have known them to occur on or near a marsh. The morning was cloudy but perfectly calm.
