Small Charmer
I've seen a Red-necked Phalarope at Potter Marsh the last several years, but this year I've seen at least six. This beauty I believe to be a female. She was looking for food not very far from where I was sitting, enjoying the show.
Apparently with this species the females are brighter colored than the males and the males are the ones who look after the eggs and young.
