A Wilson's Phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor) at the Connecticut shore, May.
This pretty shore bird made a stop in Connecticut this May where it hung out in a parking lot puddle with a variety of other shore birds.

A Wilson's Phalarope (Phalaropus tricolor) at the Connecticut shore, May.
Wilson's Phalaropes are famous for spinning in circles on water to create a vortex, which brings tiny prey to the surface for them to catch.

Ring-necked palarope photographed in Iceland. In this bird the roles are reversed. The more brightly colored females mate, lay eggs and then leave the maile behind to raise chicks! #🪶 #phalarope #nature #birding #birdsofbluesky #icelandic #bluesky #photography #blueskyday #naturephotograph #iceland

The stunning breeding plumage female Grey (Red) Phalarope at Spiggie, Shetland, this afternoon. What an incredible looking bird! Not often seen looking like this in the UK. My only other sighting was about a decade ago at Brandon Marsh, Warks! #Phalarope #Waders #Wildlife #UkBirding

Red-necked Phalarope from Iceland. Unusually, females are more brightly colored and lead in courtship. They compete for mates, then leave the males to incubate the eggs and raise the chicks alone! #birds #nature #birding #🪶 #birdsofbluesky #phalarope #blueskys #bluesky #blueskyday #naturephotograph

A small swimming bird known for spinning in circles is looking at the observer. One wing feather is curled ever so cutely out of place like a cowlick.
Want to go for a little spin?

Płatkonóg szydłodzioby - zazwyczaj wśród ptaków to samiec jest barwniejszy a samica wysiaduje jaja i opiekuje się potomstwem ale są wyjątki... I takim jest płatkonóg :)

I know what your thinking, why is it called a red necked ~ this is a young juvenile & colours will change once reacing adult
Wish i got a shot with another bird on the water to show just how small they are
So many firsts this year with the camera & the red necked Phalarope was a rather special highlight of the year at Llanelli Wetlands ~ such little birds 🦉 #birdingwales #ukbirding #wildlife #photography #ukwildlife #phalarope #bluesky
