OF ALL birds wearing feathers—and that's exactly all of them, since the Grecian plucked a rooster to make "Plato's man"—the Wilson Phala- rope is the most exasperating. This is a harsh judgment to pass on so gentle a bird, and argues a certain narrow-mindedness,—a narrow- mindedness which the author hastens to admit, for it is that of the now nearly extinct genus, oologist. Our first encounter with the Wilson Phalarope befell in a northern swamp on the 1st of June, 1905. We had been wading in hip boots after Western Grebe portraits, and had reached that point just off shore where the boots ceased to splash, but still made a noise like bovine osculation, when we came upon four Phalaropes, two males and two FEMALES. The females of this species are the original militant suffragettes. But they are no. Taken in Inyo County A NESTING HAUNT NEAR BISHOP Photo by the Author II85.
