I am resending this because I fixed it to show text on the BOTN site.

I was on the McCallister Cr. Trail Tuesday 6/3 from 5:30 to 10 AM. The
Red-necked and a Wilson's were feeding together at 5:30 -6:00 on the first
pond south of trail. Returning around 10 the Red-necked was again seen by
another birder who pointed it out and we observed it several minutes before
it then flew. I took photos both times through my scope and they are
terrible pictures but do enable identification of the birds. The birds were
both male.
Also on the return another birder and I were able to observe a Virginia Rail
for several minutes as it popped in and out of the grass on the west end of
the first north pond.
