I first tried the first pulloff on Valley Rd. north of the Boat House.
Found only Killdeer and a Spotted Sandpiper by walking the shore south to
the inlet.  Then I tried the second pulloff and found the Red-necked
Phalarope feeding at the waters edge on the east side of the spit where
gulls gather.  I walked partway out along the shore but did not flush the
shorebirds.  Scope was necessary.  I could see the dark on top of head, the
dark patch on the face, the thin bill and the dark back with white
streaks.  First found the bird by feeding behavior, size and shape.  Also
present, Lesser Yellowlegs,  Black-bellied  Plover, Spotted Sandpiper.
