I received some Intel suggesting that the Jones Beach Red Phalarope could be
one that was being seen at Plum Island MA. That bird was also a female with a
missing foot.

8th.
In other other non Phalarope related
I arrived around 7:15 PM to find the phalarope had just flown off. Peter Post,
Lloyd Spitalnik, and Harry Maas had seen it and said it had been flying off and
returning. There was no water in the eastern flats, just damp spots. A tiny
bit of water maybe a foot long remained in the western

Some notes. I arrived around 2:30 to hear that the Red Phalarope hadn't been
seen in a hour. I first stopped at the easternmost
Park at the Nature Center and walk west about 350 yards to the blind. In
addition to the RED PHALAROPE in the pool, there was a continual movement of
shorebirds landing on the flats and then going west. A GULL-BILLED TERN made a
brief appearance and the fly by COMMON TERNS repeatedly spooked
White-faced Ibis being seen now at same location as reported a few weeks ago,
park just past "Captree Island" sign, ~75 yds north in marsh feeding near Great
Egret.
