Red Phalarope

The Red Phalarope commonly breeds on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska, but is more abundant west of the Colville River primarily near the coast (Johnson et al. 2007). In Alaska, this species almost exclusively nests in wet/moist polygonal or marshy tundra and are dependent on aquatic food sources for much of their diet (Tracy et al. 2002). Red Phalaropes are the most pelagic of the three phalarope species and spend most of their winters in subtropical and tropical seas near areas of nutrient upwelling (Tracy et al. 2002). Current population estimate of the North American population is 1.25 million with a suspected declining trend (Morrison et al. 2006).
