Media notes
Sleek shorebird with yellow legs. This juvenile plumage is very fresh. Beautiful young bird.
Observation details
Juvenile. Fresh plumage. Nice even buffy edges on all upperparts feathers. Needle-thin bill, straight and longer than the bills of the other two phalaropes . Showed a white rump when it flew. Bright yellow legs. Prominent white supercilium which continued as a pale line down the side of the neck. It darted about chasing insects and put on quite a show. It was unfazed by hundreds of people nearby playing volleyball, loud music, jet skis, dogs off leash, children playing, etc. Thanks to Lynn Pady for getting the word out.
