Unfortunately I didn't get to see the phalaropes. I did get to see the black-necked stilts though. They were in a wet area on the north side of 95 just west of Herr Rd. Lots of bald eagles too. One of them was sitting on the far side of the pond on the east side of Herr Rd. Farther west on 95, there was a huge flock of spotted sandpipers. Red-Winged Blackbirds, great blue herons, and Killdeer abounded. Also seen eastern meadowlark, common yellowthroat, great white egret, pie- billed grebe, American wigeon, wood duck, trumpeter swans. Of course there were plenty of mallards and Canada geese.
