Ottawa - I had been hoping to find a Red Phalarope somewhere in the region this fall and had a chance to check out this individual which had just been spotted.

Chris: Spectacular find and photo together! Love the backdrop as much as the bird 😮
BrianMorin: This was a little beauty and the light really made a positive difference. The phalarope swan around large boulders along the shore, disappearing for a minute or more, then coming back into view.

Grey Phalarope/Red Phalarope (4)

Phalaropus fulicarius

Details: adult, winter plummage

Long Sault Parkway - A local birder alerted me to this bird today. He thought it was a Red-necked but it has Red Phalarope features including overall whitish appearance with gray back and bill that is thicker at the base and paler than the rest of the bill. A rare regional find. Note the lobed toes. That's why phalaropes can swim unlike other shorebirds.
