EDITORS COMMENTS
Who needs a fancy buffet when you have the Atlantic Ocean as your dining table? This Red-necked Phalarope female knows how to make the most of her summer in Iceland! With her vibrant breeding plumage on full display, she gracefully skims across the water's surface, searching for her next delicious meal. With its picturesque Nordic backdrop, this photo perfectly captures the beauty and serenity of Icelandic wildlife. The tiny island serves as an all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant for our elegant feathered friend. As she delicately balances on one leg, it seems like she's performing a synchronized swimming routine just for us! The cool waters of June provide an ideal feeding ground for these waders. With their slender beaks and keen eyesight, Red-necked Phalaropes are expert hunters. They skillfully snatch up small aquatic insects and crustaceans with lightning-fast precision. It's fascinating to witness nature at work - this feisty female is a true embodiment of strength and resilience. She fearlessly navigates through the choppy waves in search of sustenance while showcasing her stunning red neck that gives her species its name. So let's raise our glasses (of seawater) to this incredible bird! Cheers to wild adventures, sumptuous meals, and unforgettable moments captured by talented photographers like Malcolm Schu!
