Observation details
Floating on a lightly ruffled, mostly flat sea in front of our boat. Finally!! Got a (poor) photo!! They both flew off to the east as we neared them. The sea was mirror smooth and glassy for the past hour and i saw no phalaropes. I've observed this before, that they tend to rest on a choopy sea, or in a tidal rip or eddy. Perhaps this is better camouflage?
