Red Necked Phalarope
Another beauty I have photographed before but only in winter or it's eclipse plumage's. This is the Male of this species. The female is even more colorful at this time of year than the male, One of the few Species in the bird world where the female has more coloration than the male.
These guys were everywhere early on, in just about every pond. But thinned quickly as they got busy nesting versus foraging in the many ponds and lakes of the region.
So cool seeing them on breeding territory in there fresh breeding plumage, An amazing transformation, Just another one of natures true miracles.
This was from the first evening of the trip, That night was special for many reasons, The light, The newness of a new area, special people, and Matthew wanting to get rite after things. I know everyone enjoyed themselves. It's a special place.
Many thanks Matthew for a GREAT Trip!
