After the SL Birder's field trip this morning Matthew Thorum, Letitia
Lussier, and myself went out on the Antelope Island Causeway to see what was
there. Bob Huntington told us there were Sanderlings. Well, we
didn't find any Sanderlings, but while checking out the Eared Grebes Letitia
spotted what she thought was a phalarope. It was and after much discussion
and checking three field guides, listening to tapes, and saying "it is" and "it
can't be", we finally determined that it was a Red Phalarope. It was alone
on the north side of the causeway just as the road turns south. We didn't
check the mile marker,but it was near where there is a cement
something-or-the-other out in the lake near the shore.
Go after it!
