An abundant summer resident on Lake Puckaway. Not as 
common on Green Lake. May be found nesting in the more 
secluded sloughs and bogs of Lake Puckaway and Fox River. 
Arrives April 1st to 15th, when it appears in great numbers, 
the greater part of them going northward to breed. In the 
fall of 1914 Green Lake was covered by thousands of these birds.

One secured from a boy who said he shot it on the outlet 
of Green Lake, October 6, 1907. 
Steganopus tricolor Vieillot. Wilson’s Phalarope. 
A rare migrant. Taken by Mr. Rothmann on Green Lake, 
June 1910. A few were seen in 1912 on Green Lake. Mr. King 
says that in July 1876 they were abundant on the marshes bor- 
dering Fox River below Princeton, where five young birds fully 
fledged were obtained. 6
