All, I found a lone red-necked phalarope around 7 am this morning on the mudflat adjacent to the Susquehanna River across from River Rd Endwell, NY. The bird flew out of sight and behind some trees that made it hard to refind. I returned later in the morning and was happy to find 2 red-necked phalaropes, apparently a male and female actively foraging in a puddle in the mudflat area close to where I had it earlier this morning. These birds were cooperative and many birders got to see them which was awesome. This looks to be a first county record for Broome for this species. As of 400 pm, the birds were still being viewed from River Rd Endwell.
I attached some terrible quality digiscope images of both birds. see https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S45857153 Best, Dave Nicosia -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
