Wilson's Phalaropes are small skittish birds and that day they luckily were close to the shore. Why? Perhaps, it was Sunday and there weren't many visitors that morning.
I have never seen these birds coming to the rocks (the shore is covered with rocks) but I suspect that they climb on the rocks on a rare occasion.
When Phalaropes are spreading their wings they look a little bit bigger.
Ready to catch a few brine flies.

If you think about something very specific and imagining how it can happen sooner or later you will come across it.
I was lucky to be able to photograph these birds. Not all of the photos were good, some were blur, some were out of focus. There were a lot of frustrating moments but the whole experience was unforgettable and wonderful. And that is what matters.
Generally, life is good!
