Lifers
With the rain getting heavier and distance etc. I'm so sorry this is the only image I got of the "happy couple" (of the moment, heh, phalaropes) in one frame. I took this pic of the camera viewfinder with my phone to send to friend who alerted me to where they were. All things considered this snap of the viewfinder is a more interesting pic for me than the actual pic, no matter how I tried to edit it...
Moreover, when I was looking across the water at the area I had been told about, having forgotten these birds are not even as large as a blackbird and wouldn't be easy to see across the water, I actually saw my friend come out with her camera and look around. We texted, and I was able to see where she was looking (long lens ...) and able from a distance to just make out colorful Ms. Red-Necked Phalarope. However I'm glad I got around to where she was and got a much better look, although not for long. The rain really came down and thus no more photo opportunities with my 'not waterproof' camera.
