The recent storms have blown some Red Phalaropes (Phalaropus fulicarius) close to shore. I noticed a least a handful along the Bodega Harbor shoreline today (10 January 2023).
Here's another shot from the outer coast. I was trying to photograph the waves and the sky, but it looks like there are two phalaropes in the photo, flying across the wave splash. [You can click on the image for a sharper version.]
ADDENDUM (11 January 2023): Just for fun, I followed up on Peter's comment re: black-and-white photography and converted the phalarope image above to black and white:

Jackie, that's a beautiful photo of the phalarope and the water ripples. I have always been a fan of black and white photography, and this is a perfect example, even if you were taking a color photo.
Hi, Peter!
Thanks! And see the addendum today -- I converted the photo to black and white just to see how it would compare. Pretty similar!
:) Jackie
