Trish and I spent ten days wandering around the British Columbia mainland and Vancouver Island during our holidays. Unlike last year, this year I'm going to try to get our vacation pics posted before spring of 2017.

From Aug 03, 2016.

The female Phalaropes are more richly plumaged, in keeping with the role reversal seen in this wonderfully strange group of shorebirds. If you've ever tried to photograph one you will sympathize with my efforts. The blurred appearance of the head and neck have less to do with poor technique and more to do with the fact that these frenetic shorebirds are like non-stop wind-up toys, forever spinning or bobbing to and from as they pick insects from the air and water surface. Cannot be confused with any other bird when is breeding plumage.

Most of the other shots were reflecting the sky - this one must have been reflecting trees.

Anyone that knows me very well knows that I am totally enamored with the ability of water and light (and our eyes) to do this. And I happen to like shorebirds.

Red-necked Phalarope - Phalaropus lobatus

Distant shot of the whole group of four birds present at the site.

We enjoyed seeing the birds perform a head-bobbing/chest puffing display a few times, but I never got a photo. This had the look of a courtship display, but I am not sure.

The Red-necked Phalarope, Phalaropus lobatus, is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, winters at sea on tropical oceans.
