Red Phalarope at Wastewater Saturday


This is from David and Jonathan Lautenbach:

Along the north edge of the east lagoon we had the Red Phalarope that was originally spotted by Zak Pohlen.   Also in the east lagoon we had 9 Eared Grebes, 14 or so Horned Grebes, 1,000's of Ruddy Ducks and Northern Shovelers, several American Wigeons, Canvasbacks, Ring-necked Ducks and Lesser Scaup.   In the west lagoon we had Surf Scoter near the middle of the pond, a couple of Greater Scaup, Northern Pintail, and a similar assortment of ducks as on the east lagoon.   In the recently plowed fields north of the ponds we had several hundred American Pipits, Lapland Longspurs, and Horned Larks. This message also had two pictures that I could not download (which were posted above on Monday).
