Just got online for the first time in 4 days to report my phalarope
sighting & was shocked to see so many others.
On Sept 9 i saw one each of Red-necked & Wilson's at Jug Bay
Wetlands Sanctuary. The Wilson's reproduced itself (binary fission?) and
became 2 on the 10th, and both individuals have been there every day since,
including today (13th). The Red-necked has not been seen there since.
Interesting sidenote -- on the 9th, after i left jug bay, i went
down to check out the south end of Jug Bay from my bucket, and saw the
(presumably same) Red-necked! While watching it through my scope, there
were 3 Black Terns also flitting through my view the whole while. (hooray
for hydrilla). This was yet another new yard bird, as well as a nice
addition to my "big bucket sit" (currently around 155).
