6655 Twirling Wilson's Phalarope

Twirling Wilson's Phalaropes. It is dizzying to watch them swimming in a tight, fast circle to form a small whirlpool, which helps raise food from the bottom of shallow water. Note the circular ripples around the bird. Brown Slough, Saskatchewan, Canada. 5 May 2024.
