David and I had one at Rock Lake in Whitman County on our way home from the WOS Conf. (6/11/12) It was a lone bird, not in breeding plumage and looking scruffy, so I?m thinking it was an early fall migrant.

Dear Tweets,



Mike Donohue, Douglas Marshall, and I birded in eastern Washington today, 6/24, and at County Line Ponds we saw two RED-NECKED PHALAROPE associating with one WILSON?S PHALAROPE. Since Red-necked are normally only spring and fall migrants in eastern Washington, this seems like either quite a late or quite an early date to see them there.
