Below: A distant documentation shot of a pair of Red-necked Phalaropes off Ocean City, Maryland (5/30/2009). The female is the brighter of the two birds, at right. This is one of the few bird species in which the traditional roles of males and females are reversed. The females have brighter plumage and compete over males. The male alone incubates the eggs and tends to the young.
