From noon until 1PM I watched a Red Phalarope feeding in the main
channel of Wheatley Harbour. It stayed in the breakwall indentation on
the east side; south of the Olmstead buildings. Easily viewed from
Harbourmaster's buiding on west side of channel.
NOTE: 100+ Ruddy Ducks in southeast pond of Hillman Marsh.
