Very fortunate to see this rare bird closely - actively foraging along the shoreline.

I've seen a Red-necked Phalarope at Potter Marsh the last several years, but this year I've seen at least six. This beauty I believe to be a female. She was looking for food not very far from where I was sitting, enjoying the show.
Apparently with this species the females are brighter colored than the males and the males are the ones who look after the eggs and young.

A female Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) feeds on brine shrimp in the shallow waters of Reed Lake east of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The stop at this lake for a rest and to feed before continuing on their migration to the northern breeding grounds on the tundra.

Red-necked Phalarope is usually only seen in migration in Alberta, Canada, and breeds farther north in Canada and Alaska. Like with other members of this genus in the Sandpipers and Snipes family, the female (as seen in this photo) is more colourful than the male and does not participate in incubation or rearing young. This individual was seen at Weed Lake in the southern part of the province.
