A few people e-mailed me for further details on the whereabouts of this bird so I figured I would send a broadcast message.
When I left, about 30 minutes ago, the Red Phalarope was still showing well. It sporadically takes flight in response to a number of variables including low flying aircraft. As seen earlier, when it disappeared for over 20 minutes it returned eventually to the ponds, just be patient and check all three ponds. Please do not attempt to go down into the ponds as it may spook everything and it may very well not return. For logistics, park in the Teddy Roosevelt Nature Center parking lot and head west through the dunes towards what appears to be an old blind--look for people with scopes etc. Additionally, Least Sandpipers, White-rumped Sandpiper, Short-billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Killdeers, Semipalmated Plovers, Eastern Willet along with both Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs are in the area. Happy Phalarope Friday!
