456 Gilman NORTHERN PHALAROPE Lobipes lobatus 1931 May 18. Seelog. Today I saw for the the first time positive large flocks of what were positively those birds. Some of the flocks numbered 200- 250 individuals which acted + functioned as a unit especially in flight, tho the action impulses took a second or two for it to travel through the flock & thus the movements at times seemed rhythmically wavy or sinuous. The flocks seemed to be migrating north to the breeding grounds. Through the glasses the black on back, the neck and breast and white belly was distinguishable. May 20 - Up & Yakutat Bay - seen all along in flocks of 50 - 200 - most numerous in Icy Strait. One or two small flocks seen . in Gulf of Alaska on route today.
