Sullivan, 1961 Phalaropus fulicarius into the water with their bills, and also on the shore also probing. The ♂ flew about 25 yards to another pool, calling "peep peep" as he flew. The ♀ remained and continued to feed; the ♂ began feeding in the other pool. The ♀ called loudly a few times (contact). The birds were separated when I left, after some 5 minute observation. June 15 while inspecting traps on beach ridge (0800-0830-line IX+X) I observed a pair of fulicarius feeding in a small pond. ♂ probed with his bill, and also walked along shore probing with bill. The ♀ swam about probing in the water with her bill. Soon she began to spin about, feeding as she spun. The ♂ did not feed in this manner. Another ♀ landed in the water about 5 yards from the pair; she began to feed. The ♂ after 1½ minute from the time of arrival of the new ♀ flew over beside her. I expected a chase, but none occurred. The 3 birds fed together; the 3rd was tolerated. The ♂ moved closer to the original ♀ present and fed near her. The original ♀ flew off, and was soon followed by the ♂, both flew out of sight. The 3rd bird soon flew off as well. A 15 mph wind was blowing and some fog was present. The sky was obscured.
