Crymophilus fulicarius. Lake Umbagog, Maine. 1887. Off the entrance to Sandy Cove we left them (the steamer) Sept.29. and paddled for the west shore. On the way I discovered a- head a long-necked whitish bird which looked at first like a Horned Grebe. On getting nearer we found it to be a Red Phal- arope. It was swimming briskly about bobbing its head quick- ly at each foot stroke and sifting the water through its bill or at least seeming to do this. It paid no attention whatever to our approach and after watching it awhile I killed it with a light charge. 1888. To Outlet at 7.30 A.M. Saw two Red Phalaropes alight on Oct.2. the flooded meadow and found them swimming about in a patch of grass apparently picking something off the stems.
