Wilsons Phalarope - 7-29-10 early immature

Note the lobbed toes, where the name "phalarope" comes from, it means "coot footed"
Strange that the first of season was an immature bird. I've seen adult females back on the Mississippi Coast by the 1st of July.

Olympus E-500
1/320s f/5.6 at 150.0mm iso100 full exif
