I had about 15-20 spare minutes this evening so I stopped at North 
Branch.  One of the first birds I spotted among the 2 or 3 Lesser 
Yellowlegs, a single Greater Yellowlegs and about 5 Least Sandpipers and 
20 Killdeer +/- was a RED-NECKED PHALAROPE.  It was pretty far out in 
the pond way in the back where they spray lots of brown much but the 
bird looked very white (I at first thought it was a Wilsons but then 
noticed the dark around the eye and some blackish coloration remaining 
on the upperparts).  I called a few local folks and David Yeany arrived 
and was able to see the bird before I had to leave.
