Cogswell 1950 Lobipes lobatus Aug. 6. N. end Washoe L., 5010 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. -- Flock of about 15 feeding on a wind-ruffled muddy pond in the drying marshy country NW of the lake. They bobbed about like corks, but were getting something from the water despite its roughness. When flushed, they flew up & around the pond & resettled a few dozen feet from us. (3 observers). Aug. 9 Little Washoe L., 5020 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. -- about 70% of the 500 est. phalaropes present were of this species. [illegible] The migration is apparently well under way. Aug. 23 about 300 est. on the lake today -- approx. as common as the Wilson's. Both sp. were feeding in the pondweed & water pursiana (which nearly filled the lake) masses, swimming rapidly & pecking at the plants which reach the surface. A sample of this vegetation disclosed hordes of tiny amphipods, snails, backswimmers, etc.
