R. B. Hamilton 1965 Lobipes lobatus July 6 Barrow Alaska: Three birds of this species were observed associating with Red Phalaropes in small ponds along Voth Creek. Only one bird was observed well. It visited on a small pond and showed the field marks of the female of this species. I was most impressed by the difference in size between the Northern and Red Phalaropes. The Northern is much smaller. This was especially noticeable when the birds were found together. The voice was noticeably different than the Red Phalarope. I'll try to get the differences down next time I see the species. Aug 11 Cape Thompson - Four birds in winter plumage were observed in the creek near camp.
