I visited Point Lookout State Park this morning (8-9-99) to see if the
Red-necked Phalarope was still present - it was. It was feeding close
to the road in the same pond. So close to the edge of the pond that
occasionally it was not visible from the road. It had 2 Lesser
Yellowlegs, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 2 Least Sandpipers and 1 Killdeer for
company.
Other birds of interest were hundreds of Common Terns (at least 300), 2
Royal Terns, 1 Brown Pelican, 1 immature GREAT CORMORANT, and a Pine
Warbler trying to eat a large insect in the middle of Route 5.
I saw the phalarope from 8 am to 8:45 am.
Good Birding,
Patty Craig
