Observation details
First heard a sharp bright call overhead and my immediate thought was white-crowned sparrow (single high punchy notes). When I saw it was a shorebird I went for my camera as fast as I could. It didn’t land within eyesight so I had only a few distant photos to work with. I’ve shared the shots and described the call to some other birders and the consensus view is Red Phalarope. The photos do show a more pale underwing, a slightly thicker bill than RNPH, and even a hint of red hue under the chin as one would find on a juvenile REPH.
