A BLACK-NECKED STILT found earlier today was still present on the drawn-down Main Pool of Montezuma NWR this evening. Found near the south end of the pool from the tower/beginning of Wildlife Drive area, the bird had moved to the distant flats on the north side of the pool, seen looking west from the spillway or looking east from the north end of the Thruway Pools (beginning of last stretch of drive). Many hundreds of Dunlin and peeps were also present, along with White-rumped Sandpiper, Black-bellied Plover, and reportedly a Wilson's Phalarope earlier in the day.
