Cherise Charron and I visited Hillman Marsh at the Shorebird Habitat this afternoon and saw a female Wilson's Phalarope. Also spotted were Lesser Yellowlegs, Dunlin, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, Semi-palmeated plover, Black-bellied plover, Killdeer, Blue-winged teal, Northern Shovelers, Northern Pintail and several Tree Swallows. One puzzler was an unidentified loon that we firmly believe is a Pacific Loon. I tried digiscoping it and Cherise tried to get a good pic too and is going to see if she can confirm it when she sees the picture at home on her PC. We certainly hope that this bird returns so that we can get confirmation and other eye witnesses to this find.
