By the side of the road



Green-winged Teal

 


An unidentified shorebird.  May be a male Wilson's Phalarope, but he looks too plump and his neck is so short. His bill and markings don't seem to match any of the small sandpipers or other shorebirds. I am at a loss. Actually a fairly typical state for me when I am dealing with shorebirds.

Northern Pintail pair with phalaropes coming in for a landing behind them.
