I was at the Montezuma visitor center this afternoon before the rain and saw no Wilson's Phalaropes. During and after the rain I visited various sites, eventually meeting Dave Wheeler at Mays. He said he'd seen the phalaropes during and after the rain and only an hour previous to our meeting. I returned to the visitor center but did not find them. Moral: Birds are flighty.
