Shortly after noon today, I received a call from Chris Rurik who was at Prince Lake #2. He thought he had re-spotted the Black-bellied Plovers reported previously by Ted Floyd as well as a possible Red Phalarope. I joined him around 12:30 with my spotting scope. We could not refund the plovers, but we did study the phalarope for some time. It was across the lake from the road, so difficult to get a good look at. However, the bill did appear short and thick for a Red-necked. The back was gray with no sign of striping but did contrast with darker appearing wings. Other opinions would be welcome.
