Here is a female Red-necked Phalarope in almost full breeding plumage. It was found by a friend of mine in the middle of the day about one hour drive from me. The bird is on her way to the arctic breeding grounds right now so I knew it wouldn't stay for long. This was a bird I had been dreaming of photographing for a long time so I dropped everything and went for photo-shoot in the evning. A real dream come true to spend some time with this bird. I only had time to look at this file among many hundreds so I might post some more later. I'm a bit uncertain if I made the most of this shot, does the IQ look alright for you all?
All comments and critique welcome of course!
