I love phalaropes! They are not common here, and I didn't even know they existed when I spotted this Red-necked Phalarope. I had spent the previous couple of hours taking pictures of ducks, So this small, delicate creature looked particularly elegant to me (even while chomping on bugs).

Das Odinshühnchen ist ein besonders faszinierender Bewohner der isländischen Küstenregionen. Dieser kleine, zierliche Vogel zählt zur Familie der Schnepfenvögel und fällt durch sein markantes Gefieder auf, das sich je nach Jahreszeit verändert. In Island ist das Odinshühnchen vor allem an der Küste heimisch, wo es bevorzugt Feuchtgebiete, Moore und Flussufer besiedelt. Dort sucht es geschickt nach Insekten, Würmern und kleinen Krebstieren, die es mit seinem langen Schnabel aus dem Boden oder flachen Wasser pickt.

A few shots from yesterday's Jamaica Bay (NY) Shorebird Festival. The event featured a few birding walks, this one around the National Wildlife Refuge's marshy and extensive South Pond. Unfortunately, most photos were taken from rather far away. I'm including a fuzzy shot of a Red-necked Phalarope, which was over 300 yards away, because who knows when I'll see one again. Very cool birds - a pelagic shorebird. Also shown: a Blue-winged Teal couple, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Broad-winged Hawk.

Red-Necked Phalarope less than ten foot away, one of the most confiding birds I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting! #nature #photography #naturephotography #bird #redneckedphalarope #wildlife @RSPBEngland @RSPB
