Crymophilus fulicarius. Red Phalarope 1896. Lake Umbagog. August 31st One Phalarope, apparently of this species, out on the lake opposite B. Moose Corn. It was very restless and although it alighted frequently it did not even remain on the water for more than fifty or two seconds. The lake was dead calm at the time. There had been an easterly storm with moderate wind & heavy rain during the afternoon. October 2. Two Phalaropes which were almost certainly of this species were flying about over the marshes & ponds near the mouth of Cambridge River this morning. They alighted twice, once in the middle of a cluster of lily pads in the large pond below the Hotel House and once they flew past me within thirty yards but my gun missed fire & they went off unharmed. While flying they uttered a loud whit, whit not unlike the flight call of Bonaparte's Sandpiper and also a feeble purring sound. (a much better account of this in my journal.) " 3 One shot and given to me by Charles Dungey. It was swimming well out in the lake about midway between B. Point & Great Island. " 5 Killed a young bird in Bear River, N.Jersey, directly in front of Poplar Island. I was crossing the suspension foot bridge when the bird flew out from under it & alighted in the middle of the stream a few yards below. I watched it for 15 or 20 minutes. It swam about very rapidly, floating lightly, stemming the swift current with surprising ease but usually taking advantage of the eddies and working about the large boulders. It seemed to find food in abundance for it fed rapidly & constantly into the water & against the sides of the boulders. It would run & fly a few yards whenever I got within 30 to 40 feet, eating each time what it finds a sharp whit, whit very like the call of a spotted Sandpiper with young. It proved to be very thin. The stomach was filled with remains of most tethis of aquatic species I think
