(Arthur Cleveland) Life histories of North American shore birds, Part 1 (of 2) Produced by Chris Curnow, Matthias Grammel, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Life Histories of North American Shore Birds, Part 1" by Arthur Cleveland Bent is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work is part of a series of bulletins from the United States National Museum, focusing specifically on the life histories of North American shorebirds. The book provides detailed accounts of various species, including their habits, behaviors, migrations, nesting patterns, and other scientific data. At the start of the publication, the author introduces the phalarope species, highlighting the unique characteristics and behaviors of the red phalarope, such as its vibrant plumage and distinctive courtship rituals. The opening discusses their breeding ranges, feeding habits, and detailed observations of their migration patterns, particularly during the spring and fall. The text also delves into the nesting habits, egg descriptions, and the roles of each sex during the breeding season, emphasizing the unusual dynamics where, in most cases, the more colorful females take the lead role in mating, while the males take on the responsibilities of nest building and care for the young.
