The Red-necked Phalarope was still present when I left at 12:30pm. He was very approachable allowing me to get within five feet! He was foraging as well as preening on the West shore when I was there. White-rumped sandpipers were the only other birds worth mentioning at the North end. I could not find a Baird's. When I traveled to the South end there was 1 Pectoral, 2 Stilt, 2 Western, and 1 Spotted sandpiper. Green and Blue-winged teal were also present on the pond. A walk around the West pond did not turn up a Marbled Godwit but had 9 Northern shovelers, Short-billed dowitchers, anotherWestern sandpiper, and a Northern Harrier instead.
