Red Phalarope 2
July 3 Barrow, Northern Alaska
All four eggs are still unatched
in desert mentioned July 1
July 4 All four eggs still unatched
went on trip to Post-Rogers Monument
with A.R.L. people and saw an adult, and
two well developed chicks following for the
adult. This was about half way to the
monument.
July 5 The four eggs mentioned July 1 are still
unatched
July 9 For the first time the phalaropes have
been noticed flocking. While I was near
transect III A+B a group of about 50-75
was seen flying back and forth and
landing on a small pond, taking off
again and coming back to the pond
and feeding
July 12 A male followed by four very young
chicks was observed just south north
of Transect D-B in marshy grass area.
July 20 Up to this date I have been catching many
red-backed sandpiper juveniles in my
traps but today I caught the first
juvenile red phalarope
July 21 Another red phalarope juvenile trapped
July 22 Whereas before July 20, no juveniles red phalaropes
had been caught, today caught two in snap traps.
