Unfortunately, I did not learn about this Red-necked Phalarope until until last night. I stopped by this morning, 5/24, but alas it was NOT there. I talked to a couple of residents and they had not seen it either today. I did see 2 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS and 3 KILLDEER.

I've made this an eBird hotspot so it'll be easier for everyone to find and enter their birds.
