I arrived at the location where the Red Phalarope has been seen 
around 2:00 today.  A woman who had just photographed the bird 
(apparently) was taking down her camera and tripod.  She told me 
that the phalarope had flown off, down the canal, toward Route 335.  
I searched for it for the next 2 1/2 hours, going around the wildlife 
drive twice more, with no luck.  I did not see any other birders 
who had the bird "in their sights" during this time.
