Wilson’s phalarope does a unique spinning behavior that creates a mini whirlpool that sucks food off the bottom to the surface. Aquatic invertebrates are what usually comes to the surface for them to feed on. Again, I have slowed this video down where you can see their behavior. My first trip up I only seen one but yesterday there were several that showed up. I also focused in on a pair of Cinnamon Teal that was on shore to show how they interacted with each other. | Wildlife throughhopeseyes.

SPIN, my pretties! Wilson's Phalaropes are spinners. It's what they do. It's who they are. But WHY do they spin? 1. Why not? and 2. Because the spinning creates a tiny whirlpool that brings up food from the bottom of the shallow waters and into the whirly-bird's beak.

Are these pirouetting phalaropes practicing ballet 🩰? Not quite.... These dainty shorebirds — Wilson's phalaropes — swim in a tight, fast circle to form a small whirlpool, which helps raise food from the bottom of shallow water. This unique technique for catching their food supplies them with a smorgasbord of aquatic insects and crustaceans like brine flies, alkali flies, and brine shrimp. This charming little #shorebird species, is especially dependent on saline lakes — and especially at risk
