Hi Tweets,
Three Red-necked Phalaropes spent an hour or so on Lake Joy this morning, spinning as they foraged. Black eye patch, wide black crown stripe, clean white breast, and richly patterned black/rufous/white back, with bold white V in flight. The colors on the back indicate that they are immature birds (Sibley). Good scope views, but too far away for photos with my camera.
