Observation details

Initially entered as "bird sp." with the better photo and the description below but wanted to confirm the ID with a local expert first. Seen in the open shallow water. Pictured (at center) along with Stilt Sandpiper (left) and Long-billed Dowitcher (right). Initial entry: "bird sp. Probable male Wilson's Phalarope. Only had a brief distant view before thunderstorm arrived. Long thin bill, white cheek and throat, pale below, plain light browinsh gray above and darker on head. It was standing still so didn't observe any characteristic Phalarope foraging behaviors. May update later"
