Red-necked Phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus)

The red-necked phalarope (Phalaropus lobatus) is a small wader. This phalarope breeds in the Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is migratory, and, unusually for a wader, winters at sea on tropical oceans. (Source: Wikipedia, '', http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-necked_phalarope, CC BY-SA 3.0 .
