I was so lucky this little Phalarope decided to get out of the water right in front of me...I was knee deep in muck behind a clump of grass. I am working long hours this week so will comment as often as possible!

American Avocet Recurvirostra americana
Red-necked Phalarope Phalaropus lobatus
American Avocet herding Red-necked Phalropes. It got all but one into a group for a photo opportunity. I took it, borrowing their souls. Forty were in one group, with one more a few feet off to the side. That's a high count for Yakima County. I've not looked at eBird bar charts, but I'd have expected higher numbers of them to visit in the Fall, when there are the additional juveniles.
Please Follow this Code and Distribute and Teach it to Others ABA Code of Birding Ethics.
I'm really glad that most listers and bird watchers are honest, truthful, law abiding, and decent people.
Please always consider the sensitivity of birds, nearby humans, and the environment.
My original photos have embedded GPS time/date/location -- proving when & where I took the photos. I would never falsify a checklist, nor info under my photos, and never have done so. I would never cheat on my Big Day, never trick someone into helping me cheat on my Big Day, never illegally call in a Spotted Owl on my Big Day (or any other day), never trespass. Those practices would be the antithesis of my bird watching, and are clear violations of the ABA Code of Birding Ethics. I was used by Yakima County Big Day listers on May 11, 2013, and don't want others' enjoyment of birding to be harmed in the same way. If you find that you're wrong, whether in a bird identification or in your birding ethics, correct it. Apologize. Be honest about your apology. To the rest: Be careful. Be ethical. Be truthful. Beware of being mis-lead.

I spent almost 3 hours trying to get a good shot of this bird in flight today. It is really hard to track them, they move so fast and they are always turning this way and that.
This was the only flight shot I really liked.
Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) feeding in the shallow waters of Chaplin Lake in southern Saskatchewan on the Trans-Canada Highway between Moose Jaw and Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada.
Prey is abundant in the shallow waters and thousands of shorebirds annually stage there in the spring to build body reserves for their northward migration and to a lesser extent in the fall migration period.
Access is very limited but there is a local tourism facility which focuses on the lake and its importance to shorebirds.
