	Birds of Nova Scotia - Red-necked Phalarope (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Unlike the Red Phalarope, it is not known to winter in the Atlantic; the birds we see in the Maritimes probably move inland across the continent later and winter off the Pacific coast of South America.
		Remarks In breeding plumage, the Red-necked Phalarope, formerly known as "Northern Phalarope", is readily distinguished from the Red Phalarope by its darker upperparts and pale underparts.
		The tide-rips at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy are as important a feeding area for the Red-necked Phalarope during fall migration as the mudflats at the head of the bay are for the Semipalmated Sandpiper.

	Phalarope
		The name Phalarope refers to any of three species of slender-necked shorebirds in the genus Phalaropus of the bird family Scolopacidae.
		Red and Red-necked Phalaropes are unusual amongst shorebirds in that they are considered pelagic, that is, they spend a great deal of their lives outside the breeding season well out to sea.
		Phalaropes are unusually halophilic (salt-loving) and feed in great numbers in saline lakes such as Mono Lake in California and the Great Salt Lake of Utah.

	Phalaropes: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		Red-necked phalaropes (known to Alaska Natives as Kaiyiorgon and Sabra-nna) nest from Yakutat northward to the Arctic coast and westward to the Aleutian Islands.
		Nesting red phalaropes are limited to coastal marshes and are rarely found more than 40 miles (64 km) from the coast.
		Approximately 10 percent of adult red phalaropes and 50 percent of adult red-necked phalaropes return to the same nesting locations in successive years, and they occasionally mate with the same partners.

	Red Phalarope - Definition, explanation
		The Red Phalarope (called Grey Phalarope in Europe), Phalaropus fulicaria, is a small wader.
		This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia.
		Red Phalarope is about 21 cm in length, with lobed toes and a straight bill, somewhat thicker than that of Red-necked Phalarope.

	Bird of the month: Red Phalarope
		Red Phalaropes breed on low-lying wet tundra near the coast in the high Arctic, nearly as far north as land extends.
		Red Phalaropes are the most pelagic members of the family, occurring from the coastal estuaries, where typically scarce, hundreds of miles seaward out over deep ocean waters.
		Red Phalaropes are notable for impressive “wrecks” that take place irregularly in November and December of some years.

	Phalarope
		The phalarope (family Scolopacidae) is a sandpiperlike shorebird, highly specialized for aquatic life.
		Phalaropes' legs are flattened laterally and toes have lobed flaps on sides and small webs at bases.
		Phalaropes swim jerkily, in tight circles, picking at food (aquatic invertebrates and larval fishes) stirred up by the small currents they create.

		When feeding, a Red Phalarope will often swim in a small, rapid circle, forming a small whirlpool.

	Wilson's Phalarope
		Although the Wilson's Phalarope, Red Phalarope, and Red-necked Phalarope are all in the same family as shore-hugging sandpipers, they are so unusual that they have sometimes been considered a separate family.
		All three species of phalarope forage while swimming, sometimes whirling in a circle to create a vortex that brings small invertebrates to the surface for easier capture.
		The phalarope genus name, Phalaropus, means "coot-footed" and was inspired by the phalarope's feet which are adapted for swimming.

	Phalaropes
		Phalaropes are Shorebirds related to Sandpipers, Dowitchers, Curlews, Godwits, Dowitchers, Snipes, Turnstones, and Woodcocks.
		All Phalaropes are colorful birds in breeding plumages and finding a bird in migration which is already or still in breeding plumage is a thrill.
		Usually when we seen Red and Red-necked Phalaropes at sea then are dressed in their gray and white non-breeding plumage and the best way to distingush between the two is by the bill length.

		The winter Red Phalarope has a much darker back and the bill is two-toned with an orange base and fl tip, in contrast to the all fl bill of the Red-necked Phalarope.
		Habitat: The Red-necked Phalarope is found on the tundra along the shores of bogs, ponds, and lakes during the breeding season.
		Like other phalaropes the female is the more brightly marked sex and the male spends its time tending the eggs and taking care of the young, an interesting role-reversal for the birds.

	Red-necked Phalaropes at Sea - photo by Ian MacIntosh
		Unlike the Red Phalarope, which generally nests close to the coast, the Red-necked Phalarope nests along the coast, and several hundred kilometers from the coast, as well as near alpine lakes in the arctic and sub-arctic around the world.
		Of the three phalaropes species, Red-necked and Red phalaropes are sea-going in the non-breeding season, while Wilson's Phalarope spend the non-breeding season in alkaline lakes in South America.
		Whereas Red-necked and Red phalaropes are easily distinguished in breeding plumage by the distribution of red plumage, their appearance is rather similar in non-breeding plumage: both sport white heads, bellies and sides, and dark crowns; Red-necked Phalaropes have a more rounded (in cross-section), and more pointed bill.

	* Red Phalarope - (Bird): Definition
		The Red Phalarope is the most pelagic of the phalaropes, spending most of its time well out to sea.
		Red-necked in the first few groups, but then finally a Red Phalarope was seen; much to the delight to those who got on it, and much to the quiet frustration of those who didn't.
		Spotted Sandpipers, Red-necked and Red Phalaropes are examples of sequentially polyandrous species that breed in North America.

	Red-necked Phalarope - May 19, 2006
		Phalaropes are a rare exception in the avian world, in that females are more brightly colored than the males.
		Additionally, in another instance of avian role reversal, the duty of attending the eggs and the newly hatched young is left solely to the male; the female vacates the scene after the eggs are laid and leave her offspring and her mate behind.
		The first record was of a bird grounded during Hurricane Fran on September 7, 1996; while this bird was originally identified as a Red-necked, there was some disagreement as to the ID based on the pictures that were submitted, with some feeling that the bird was more likely a Red Phalarope.

	Red Phalarope - September 5, 2005
		This molting phalarope was discovered by Mark Vass on September 4 and initially identified as a Red-necked Phalarope.
		After coming to the realization that the initial species ID was wrong, it became clear to me that the bird is in fact not an adult at all, but a juvenile molting into basic plumage.
		In characteristic Red (or Red-necked) phalarope fashion, this bird had found a food source it liked very much and became entirely focused on it, allowing very close approach, to which these photos will testify.

	Audubon WatchList - Wilson's Phalarope
		Red Phalarope and Red-necked Phalarope both nest on Arctic tundra and winter at sea, but Wilson's Phalarope breeds on inland waters of temperate North America and winters on lakes and ponds in South America.
		Wilson's Phalarope's heavy reliance on certain staging areas, where hundreds of thousands of birds can gather at one time, also places it at risk, as water diversion and reclamation projects change the ecology of some of these hypersaline lakes.
		The major conservation priority for Wilson's Phalarope is to protect the flow of water to saline lakes and western wetlands.

		My first drawing of the Red Phalarope was made at Louisville in Kentucky, a few weeks after my removal to that place, in 1808.
		I have not seen the Red Phalarope alive on any other occasion than those mentioned above; and I am indebted to my generous friend Captain JAMES CLARK ROSS for the beautiful specimens in summer plumage, from which the figures in the plate were taken.
		The female has the upper part variegated with light red and brownish-fl, the central part of each feather being of the latter colour, the upper tail-coverts entirely of the former.

		No notes were taken while viewing the bird and note of the fact that this was a molting juvenile Red Phalarope was not made until review of both the photographs and various texts.
		As well, a light buffy wash on the neck and throat is visible on the bird, which is not part of a winter or molting juvenile Red-necked plumage.
		Also of note is the pattern of the eye line, in the Red (and in this bird) the edges are poorly defined and form a more circular pattern around the eye, whereas in a Red-necked the pattern is crisp and sharply demarcated, creating a more lateral formation through the eye.
