| This phalarope is one of the most beautiful of all our shore birds, and is the most southerly distributed of the phalaropes. |
| An estimated 1.5 million eared grebes, 50,000 Wilson's phalaropes, 50,000 California gulls, and 200 snowy plovers visit Mono Lake each spring and summer. |
| Red Phalaropes are the least common of the two ocean-going phalaropes, seen about half as often on boat trips as Red-necked Phalaropes. |
| Here breeding grounds are shared with broad-billed sandpipers and sometimes red-necked phalaropes. |
| The Red-necked Phalarope is the smallest of the three phalaropes and has the shortest bill. |
| The best known of sex-role-reversed shorebirds are the spotted sandpiper, phalaropes, and jacanas. |
