WPBO - Red Phalarope

[Tom Auer]

A winter plumage RED PHALAROPE was seen at the point tonight, first around
5:45, then again at 6:10. The bird was seen flying 30-40 feet offshore with
a Bonaparte's Gull and a Ring-billed Gull. It would sit on the water
occasionally, but got up and moved westward frequently. Attempts to relocate
the bird from 6:30 through dusk were unsuccessful. If the bird is relocated
tomorrow morning, I'll have someone get a post up.

There was also a stellar flight today, including 500+ Canada Geese, 600+
Red-necked Grebe, ~100 Common Loon, and 100+ American Wigeon.
