AM Verbeek 1966 Phalaropus fulicarius (4) Nest #3 on P's plot had 4 day young this evening at 21:00. Nest #7 had not hatched yet. #8 not hatched yet. 0 July 9 July #9, New nest, 4 eggs 70 m. N. of P's plot. Did not see any female Phalarope today. 11 July #8 fledged. Saw two g to-day. I think they left for good on 7 July. Not so, this evening on the Gashie Bridge I saw a flock of 6 females. New nest (#10) with 4 eggs about 25 m. N. of #9. Nest #6 had 3 day young and 1 egg at 17:30. 14 July #7 - 4 eggs at 17:15, #9 fledged #10 fledged. Found a male and 3 young (still carried white egg teeth) about 30 m. E. of #10. 15 July There were at one time at least 6 of flying around me in Holmes Minas. I assume they had chicks and were disturbed by my presence. Nest #2 had fledged except for one egg. 16 July Nest #7 not hatched yet at time of census of P's plot. 19 July Nest #7 hatched. The young were about 25 m. N. of the nest along a stagnant ditch Nest #6 had one unhatched egg in the nest cup. 26 July At Meade River, not as common a species as the Northern Phalarope. Only saw two males during a 5 hour hike. 27 July Chased a long-tailed Jaeger and forced him to drop a fledgling Red Phalarope with its primaries still 1/2 cm in the sheaths. 11 August. Back at Barrow I only saw about 6 Phalaropes all day.
