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.
A quick peruse of the MA list serve showed the bird was last reported on July
8th.
In other other non Phalarope related news, I picked up an eBird alert this
evening of a "Reddish Egret" reportedly observed today on the West Pond at
Jamaica Bay. The eBird checklist provided no description of the bird other than
it was photographed by two other observers and that the submitter was awaiting
the photos.
Not sure what to make of this...
