Reply #117: #364 - Red Phalarope

[semillama]

I bagged number 364 yesterday morning at the local shorebird hotspot, Hoover Reservoir in Delaware County, Ohio. At first, I thought it was an immature Red-necked Phalarope, like the one I had seen a week or so ago at the same location. But after going home and looking through photos of both species, and then hearing that other birders had identified a Red Phalarope in the exact same location that day, I came to the conclusion that it was in face a Red Phalarope I saw! What I find sort of funny is that I haven't seen the most common phalarope for Ohio yet this year - Wilson's.
