Subject: [HMBirds] Red Phalarope on Hudson at Fort Miller
The bird was observed and photographed by local vet and amateur bird
photographer, Gordie Ellmers. It was found on the Hudson at the Fort Miller
Hydro station off Harris Road this afternoon. There is a fishing access and you
can walk down and stand on part of the dam and look upriver. This is where he
saw the bird. It would fly upriver, feed as it floated down to the dam, fly
back upriver, etc. At times he couldn't take photos because it was right
underneath him.
Harris Road is off West River Road on the west side of the Hudson River, north
of Schuylerville. If travelling north, turn left (east) on Harris Rd. off of
West River Rd, follow the road around the left-hand 90 degree bend, and just
before the next left hand bend, there is a parkinglot on your right for the
hydro station and fishing access. Park in the lot and follow the sign for the
fishing access and look upriver from on top of the concrete dam.
Can someone forward this post to the NY Birds list? Thanks!
Good luck to any who try for this bird!
