Red-necked Phalarope
Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropes locates) feeding on a brine shrimp (?) in Chaplin Lake along the Trans-Canada highway east of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Shorebirds, in general, stop-over on the lake to feed during migration on the invertebrate rich waters. At specific times of the year, brine shrimp colour the waters red with the massive swarms of individuals.
