Hi Everyone,
I found a Red Phalarope in the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons this morning about
8:15. It was snowing heavily and I only got enough of a look to tell that
it was either a red or red-necked. I went back around noon and was able to
get decent photos since it was only sleeting. I will post

There is a Red Phalarope at Owen Point at Presqu'ile Prov. Park. It has been
feeding in some puddles on top of the algae mat but has moved north and into
the lake a bit. It is the only bird out there. The gale force winds ensure
those that have gone out for a look don't stay long!
A Red Phalarope was present today on Lake Dore; best viewing from Church Point
Drive off highway 41. Also present were an estimated 150 Bonaparte's Gull.

Hi all,
Today August 4 I found a phalarope at Blenheim Lagoons in the sprinkler
cell. I initially believed it to be a Red-necked, but after considerable
analysis and further discussion with Alan Wormington (thanks) it appears
that it was an adult Red Phalarope!
Due to the early date and
