For those planning to go to Mecox Bay for the Phalaropes tomorrow...The birds are visible from the eastern side of Mecox atop the dunes adjacent to the northern part of the parking lot. To get there you can take Mecox Road to Jobs Lane to Dune Road and go all the way to the parking lot at the end.
Because it is the summer season, you must leave the parking area by 9 AM. In addition, please note that on the western side there is a Least Tern nest with two eggs It is not protected in any way, so if you are out there you should exercise care, or better perhaps to view the Phalaropes from the eastern side.
