Observation details
The rather short and thick bill seen in the photo should be sufficient for identification. Noted was a lone bird that liked to stay close to the edge of the lagoon. It would swim out just a ways and then soon return. It's swimming style and foraging behavior differed from red-necked phalarope, the closest look-a-like. Three other birders met up with me and they also saw the phalarope and took pictures. This is at least the 8th record at the lagoons.
