October 20 Email:
Today we went birding at the Wastewater and had some good birds there. The highlight was a single basic plumage Red Phalarope in the northwest corner of the east lagoon (pictures attached). This bird was swimming right along the edge of the dike not venturing more than three meters from the edge of the water. Also seen today was a juvenile Red-necked Phalarope along the center dike, 100+ American Golden-Plovers (in a field east of Swanson and north of Apple Ave), a single Buff-breasted Sandpiper (mixed in with the golden-plovers), 3 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (along the north side of the west lagoon), and a Short-eared Owl flying along Swanson north of Apple Ave.
