Abstract
The migration of red-necked phalarope Phalaropus lobatus, is normally wholly pelagic but coastal stragglers may occasionally appear. When especially a strong low pressure area in spring is travelling north-east along the coast, small number of migrants may occasionally move inshore to avoid the spring storm. Red-necked phalaropes are too light (See Table 1.) to remain water-borne in strong gales, and tend to be driven to leeward.Like a temperate low pressure, typhoon can be disastrous. On Aug. 30 in 1970, seven phalaropes were found dead inland after the typhoon No. 12 as shown in Fig. 2, had passed. They probably, encountered the typhoon during flight at night were whipped off its gales and driven inland. Striking against a structure seemed to be the cause of their death.
