Baie Fraser, Gatineau, Outaouais Well studied; about 400 meters offshore. Several minutes of viewing time. Classic phalarope gestalt (petite, small-headed, compact, deep-chested, strongly buoyant) and side to side finely plucking surface of water as well as spinning foraging action. Plumage impression and fine bill at distance matches RNPH and not REPH. It flew upriver at 1904 hrs. We went to Aylmer Marina but could not re-find.
