Les phalaropes à bec étroit nichent en groupe. Contrairement à la plupart des autres espèces d'oiseaux, la femelle est plus grande et plus richement colorée que le mâle et c'est elle qui le choisit.
Elle pond généralement 4 oeufs verts tachés de brun, déposés dans une coupe placée dans une touffe d'un marais, d'une tourbière ou d'une mare de la toundra. Se contentant de pondre, elle force son conjoint à assurer seul l'incubation qui dure entre 18 et 20 jours, ainsi que l'éducation des petits. Il arrive que la femelle ponde une seconde fois, avec un autre partenaire.
une femelle plutôt moderne !

rarement observée dans la plaine littorale picarde.
Tel un clavier aux touches inversées, ce Phalarope a déployé son charme, son élégance et son raffinement devant mes yeux ébahis!
Like the inverted piano keys of a keyboard this Red-necked Phalarope displayed all his charm, elegance and refinement before my astonished eyes!

A shot from last spring.
Sometimes they were so close that my camera couldn't focus.
Une photo du printemps dernier.
Il y en avait possiblement quelques milliers sur ce lac. Quelques fois, ils venaient tellement près que l'appareil n'arrivait pas à faire son focus.

I do not want to stand
under quiet skies.
I want them filled with bird song,
the intertwining symphony
of life breathing life
singing life
I do not want silent trees
or Silent Springs
without the buzzing
of hummingbirds
or the whisper-flight of wrens.
The grass has held worm
for robins, warm-breasted
and numerous —as far
into my memory as I can search.
Where are the robins now?
I haven’t seen one in so long.
The Aves are in decline.
I do not want to live
in a world without birds.
Without the intricacies of color
the dapper dancing for mates
the delicate strength of wings
teaching us to soar above things,
to be light as the wind
and quick on our feet.
How can I soar on wings like eagles, Lord
if there are none to inspire
my soul to lift?
Who will announce the gift of sun
after rain? Who will skip on delicate
feet along the shoreline, or lift
their notes on wind and wing?
Who will bring morning?
Coming too soon —
artist renderings,
a cross-stitched Avocet
on white linen, framed,
picture books and stories
telling of days when the skies
were ablaze with a flurry
of swift flying creatures
— this is what we give
to the generations?
Tales of them?
Empty skies
and our
remorseful eyes?
I cannot live
in a world without birds.
— forgive us our trespasses
Poem written by Christina Ward
I was about to leave Koll, when a woman asked me if I'd seen the phalaropes, which I hadn't (ever, really!). She heard from a friend that there were three spotted there. So I headed for the two most likely spots I'd expect shorebirds, and was pleased to find them in the second place. They were fairly far out, then flew up the shore a ways. I went over to Greenway park to get a closer look, and was rewarded with three separate passes by them as they'd work that shoreline, then fly back and do it again!

Female Red-necked phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) in breeding plumage; from island Vagar in the Faroese Archipelago; 27-06-2021.
The image was taken handheld during my private tour.
Thanks a lot, everyone, for stopping by, for looking my work, for your comments and likes! Always appreciated!
peregrine falcon chick with red necked phalarope.. Got it from dad in an aerial food exchange, I saw it but was too far to get a shot.

This female Red-necked Phalarope was at a small pond near the Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk Highway in the Northwest Territories of Canada. What striking plumage! Females of this species, in common with a few other members of the Scolopacidae, are more brightly coloured than the males in breeding season and after mating they leave the males to rear the young.
Thanks to all who take the time to comment etc.it is appreciated...
Red Necked Phalarope (Juvenile) - Phalaropus lobatus
A last look at the Red-necked Phalaropes. They are on their way to their breeding gronds in Northern Canada and Alaska.
More shorebird species to appear on my photostream over the next few days.
Murray Marsh. Surgeon County, Alberta.
Like the Wilson's Phalarope I posted yesterday, the female is larger and more brightly coloured than the male. She will also leave her mate to all nesting duties and raising the young ones. Once incubation starts, she will mate again as often as possible until the temperatures trigger migration.
Red-necked Phalaropes nest in northern Canada and Alaska. We see them in migration times here. The Wilson's Phalaropes nest in the prairie regions of Canada and northwest US states.
