Red-necked Phalaropes at W.W. Sunday

.
Email to Ric:

Birded MWW today, Sunday 9/5 and wanted to report 6 Juvenile Red-necked Phalaropes in the SW corner of the east lagoon.  They were close knit and very close, didn't even have to set up the scope.  It was great!  Watched them for about a half hour.  Also of note were 2 Wilson's Warblers and a Peregrine Falcon on the south side of Apple Ave.  Warblers in the trees on the left just across the creek and Peregrine flying over field just south of the trees.  Shorebirds were very scarce.  The big wind must have sent them south!
