Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)
Big Soda Lake, Churchill Co, Nevada (September 22, 2016). 66. Large alkaline lake.
Adult in winter plumage. One of scores of Red-necked Phalaropes feeding along this stretch of the lake shore. They mostly stayed in the water with individuals sometimes coming onto dry land to feed on the swarms of brine flies (Ephydra sp.) lining the shore.
