Bath time!
My wife was the first to spot this tiny bird in the weeds at Potter Marsh. I knew it was a Phalarope chick but I had to do some research when I got home to try to identify it further. So, I think this is a Red-necked Phalarope chick, let me know if you think otherwise and why. Anyway, after hiding in the weeds for a little while it came out and proceeded to do some splashing around in the water for a bit before flying away.
Taken 1 July 2018 at Potter Marsh, Anchorage, Alaska.
