Détails de l'observation
I saw this shorebird flying far out over the lake and quickly decided it was a Phalarope based on size, shape and very pale overall color.
The heavier, beefy chested look made me think Red Phalarope.
The bird then landed on the water, still very far, but we could see a light gray back, dark smudge on the face and a fairly short, thick bill which I felt confirmed it as a Red Phalarope.
We then returned at noon with Dan Jacobson and Kevin Calhoon and got great closeup looks of the bird as well as a few photos.
I'll attach a diagnostic shot.
