Such dainty birds, I love watching them spin in circles creating a vortex in the water to bring the food up.
Oiseau aquatique boréal. On le rencontre quelques fois le printemps et à la fin de l'été.
Il affiche un plumage très varié. On le voit , ici, en plumage d'hiver ( noir et blanc et virgule sur l'oeil) quelques colorations persistent sur la poitrine.
Boreal water bird. We meet it a few times in spring and at the end of summer.
It displays a very varied plumage. We see it, here, in winter plumage (black and white and comma on the eye) some colorations persist on the chest.

This Red-necked Phalarope happened to swim through a beautiful reflective area of Morro Creek this morning.
a rare visitor to the fish ponds, only second time they have been there in eight years.

I had an incredible experience photographing this juvenile Red-necked Phalarope at Boundary Bay. I spotted it feeding all on it's own, and after a long time slowly approaching, I found myself close enough for some great shots. The bird completely ignored me and kept on feeding until it was too close to focus! In addition to closeups with my big lens, I also put on a wide angle and took some wide photos to show the bird in its habitat.

Red-necked Phalaropes breed in tundra and tundra-forest transition zones in North America. (Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta)
Here in central Alberta, we see them in late May and early June often in very large flocks mixed with other northern-bound shorebirds. I had good luck to get close to a small group as they fed and rested on their way farther north.

Though the transition into alternate plumage isn't complete, I believe this is a male.

One of my most amazing encounter was with this Red-Necked Phalarope on an early near white Arctic morning. These guys came pretty close to us and it was really fun photographing them.
Ces petits limicoles picorent leur nourriture à la surface de l'eau et se rassemblent en nombre là ou elle abonde. En été, ils nagent sur l'eau libre des marais ou des étangs, en tournant rapidement sur eux-mêmes pour créer un tourbillon. Cette technique leur permet d'amener le plancton à la surface. En plus du zooplancton, le phalarope consomme également des larves d'insectes.
There were hundreds of Red-necked Phalaropes at the water treatment plant yesterday but all that I saw were in basic plumage until I came across this one female who happened to be relatively close in the channel. We don't get to see them often in breeding plumage.
That reflection was awesome, but had to walk in the water to position myself in order to get the best angle possible and also hoping for a shorebird to walk at the right place. Then the waiting game started while keeping my fingers crossed for any bird to cross... well I was lucky that the Red-necked Phalarope decided to take a snooze at the right place.
