Quick-ish taxidermy studies from the natural history museum (not to scale). Part of me wants to polish these up but I didn't get the best photos of this display... maybe I'll just have to go back.

Un-bird-lievable! Even in its mottled in-between-seasons plumage, our red phalarope is ridiculously photogenic.

Red phalaropes make impressive migrations every year, nesting in the Arctic tundra during the summer and spending the rest of the year out at sea feasting on plankton. While in most bird species, males dress to impress with bright, beautiful breeding plumage, phalaropes have reversed the roles—females are larger, more colorful, and compete to win mates, while the males incubate and care for their eggs and chicks.
