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.

#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.
