Tweets,
Spurred on by the reports of phalaropes I stopped
at Nisqually NWR this evening on my way home. 10
RED-NECKED PHALAROPES along with one WESTERN SANDPIPER
and two LEAST SANDPIPERS were feeding in the first
pond west of the visitor center south of the trail to
McAllister Creek around 4 pm.
I continued west to McAllister Creek and then
north for about 1/4 mile along the dike trail. At the
north end of the second large opening looking east
into the marsh I found two BLACK-NECKED STILTS feeding
amongst a small group of Green-winged Teal, American
Wigeon, Gadwall, and Northern Pintail. Both stilts
were better viewed a few hundred meters further north
from the south end of the third large opening looking
east.

Good Birding,
Matt Pike
