Bandon, Coos Co, Oregon (August 30th, 2012). 358.
Juvenile in the trough of a wave on a bright windy day at the Bandon marina. It was part of a small actively feeding flock at the edge of a crabbing pier. The birds were whirling & spinning at a frenetic rate in the choppy water making them very hard to photograph, this being a rare keeper among the mountain of discards.

A Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) was spotted this morning by Lance, who out the word, in the Nygren Wetland Preserve in Winnebago County, Illinois during spring migration 2025.
Juvenal plumage beginning to molt into gray winter plumage. A few of the new gray feathers are obvious against the black-and-golden juv plumage.

First record for Livingston Parish, and one of few recent records for Louisiana, and perhaps only the second inland record. Found by Van Remsen.
Red Phalarope in the back, Red-Necked Phalaropes in front. Both in breeding plumage.
Monterey Bay Aquarium Aviary, Monterey, California, USA.
Red-necked Phalarope at Churchill, Manitoba Canada, 850625. AKA Northern Phalarope. Phalaropus lobatus.
A red-necked phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) was found in the VetMed pond on the Virginia Tech campus today. Since they breed in the Arctic, she's a little off-course. (A lifer for me!)
A juvenile or non-plumaged Red-necked Phalarope was observed twirling in a fluddle along N. Pecatonica Road outside Pecatonica, Illinois. A new county bird.
Fairly small shorebird known for spinning frantically on water to stir up small invertebrates. Note thin, sharp bill. Breeding females are brighter and more contrasting than males: note white throat, reddish stripe on neck, and buffy stripes on back. Breeding males are duller, especially on head and neck. Nonbreeding is much less colorful: gray above and white below with streaky-looking back and black ear patch. Juveniles have blackish upperparts with buffy stripes, and a black ear patch. Breeds on Arctic tundra. Primarily found on the open ocean during migration and winter; also occurs on lakes, especially in western North America. Often in small flocks, but can gather in incredibly large numbers especially during fall migration. In migration mixes with Wilson’s Phalarope on inland lakes; Red-necked is smaller, more compact, and shorter-billed. On the ocean, frequently mixes with Red Phalarope, the only other oceanic shorebird; Red-necked is best distinguished by smaller size, thinner bill, and slightly darker, streakier-looking upperparts.
A rare occurrence to see one, but to have two in Oakland County, Michigan, is astonishing. Only the second record of this bird being found in the county. Many thanks to fellow birder, Michigan James for providing the information about this bird's location. I was able to see this rare bird for myself here in my own town.
