Tom Burke and Gail Benson found a male Wilson's Phalarope this evening in the marsh on the north side of Captree Island, Suffolk County.
The bird was found in the open marsh north of Captree Rd., west of the highway and east of a line of woody vegetation running north and south. It was very active, mainly along the extreme western edge of this portion of the marsh. Visitors should be sure to scrupulously observe parking regulations and to respect the sentiments of the residents of this quiet community.
