Saturday morning 8-8:30
3 Wilson's phalaropes -1 female at pond by twin barns overlook, male and female in first large pond left of dike trail. In both cases, birds were loosely associated with numbers of LB dowitchers. (for me refuge and county firsts!)

male blue winged teal (FOY) right next to overlook at twin barns

One greater yellowlegs with odd plumage- large black area on left of breast (very asymmetric, possibly damaged at some point in past?) (in same general area, twin barns pond and first dike pond.)
