It has also been known as the northern phalarope. The red phalarope (called grey phalarope in Europe), "Phalaropus fulicarius", is a small wader. It is a natural habitat for shorebirds, such as the red phalarope. Another conservation effort is habitat management to encourage the red-necked phalarope. Wilson's phalarope is slightly larger than the red phalarope at about in length. The typical avian sex roles are reversed in the three phalarope species. Other inhabitants include rock sandpiper, red-necked phalarope, gray-crowned rosy finch and snow bunting. The red-necked phalarope ("Phalaropus lobatus") is a small wader. His works include the novels "Cry, the Beloved Country" and "Too Late the Phalarope". Wilson's phalarope ("Phalaropus tricolor") is a small wader. The sexual dimorphism and contribution to parenting are reversed in the three phalarope species. Wilson's phalarope ("P. tricolor") breeds in western North America and migrates to South America. The red-necked phalarope is about in length, with lobed toes and a straight, fine bill. Classic examples of reversed sex-role species include the pipefish, and Wilson's phalarope. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia.
