Juvenile Wilson's Phalarope
Normally, I rarely get to places where there are shorebirds, and when I do see them, they are way off in the distance. More recently, though, I've driven to Frank Lake, SE of the city, a number of times and have been able to get photos of a few shorebirds. For the most part, I can't tell one from the other, and almost gave up last night, trying to find a photo of a bird that looked like the one in this photo, which was taken on 28 July 2014. The closest I got was a juvenile Phalarope. I would really appreciate it if someone is able to confirm or correct my tentative ID - many thanks!
On 28 July 2014, I drove along some of the dusty, gravel backroads SE of the city. It was another really hot day, so I just had to get out of the house and into the air-conditioning of my vehicle.
Birds seen that afternoon/evening included a Barn Swallow, a young Marsh Wren that was enjoying a dust bath, a single young Sora, several Coots including one young one, two or three different species of shore bird including the one in this photo, American Avocets, a couple of Swainson's Hawks, and a Meadowlark.
