Phalarope – Wilson’s
Phalaropus tricolor
We know reversing the gender roles most of us come to expect in the bird world, is not uncommon among shorebirds. But phalaropes are perhaps the masters of this reproductive strategy. They employ a lifestyle practice known as polyandry. The females are larger, more brightly colored, and take multiple mates in a season. After depositing her eggs in the nest site, the male takes on all the parenting duties, while she leaves to search for another mate (and another, and another, …). Other species, such as the Spotted Sandpiper, employ this reproductive strategy as well.
The Wilson’s Phalarope nests further south than any other phalarope species. The high latitude nesting limit for these birds is northern Alberta and in the southern Northwest Territory of Canada. Their most used breeding range is in the intermountain USA states and the Canadian prairie provinces. They also use parts of the Great Lakes region, and the southeastern corner of Canada’s Atlantic coast. They spend winters as far south as saline lakes in the Andes and southern South America, south of Brazil.
Science regards the Wilson’s Phalarope as monotypic (i.e. no subspecies).
I’ve met these birds on their breeding grounds at Crowley Lake in the Upper Owens River Valley in California. And I have had some satisfyingly close encounters near Klamath Falls and at Malheur NWR in eastern Oregon. Prior to these meetings, my only other contacts were in South San Diego Bay with birds headed south for the winter. Since then I’ve enjoyed their intimate company at Mono Lake in California and Henderson Nevada. In Texas, I met them in the Lower Rio Grande Valley at Resaca de la Palma. In 2022, while touring the western USA and Canada, I met them in Cody Wyoming, and in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Description: All the Wilson's Phalaropes I saw on this visit to Mono Lake seemed to be hatch-year birds. Mom probably left after the eggs were laid, and dad left when he felt the young birds could find their own food. This image was captured during a 4 hour vigil at the Mono Lake shore north of Lee Vining California. Summers at Mono Lake, when the algae blooms occur in this super-salty water, Brine-flies (or Alkali Flies) feed on the algae. Millions of birds, as many as 80 species feed on the fat and protein rich flies. |
