After about 30 minutes the bird disappeared while we were scanning birds in the pond. Later, on our way back to the parking lot Frank relocated a basic plumaged RED-NECKED PHALAROPE (he was sure he had seen earlier) just east of the first island in Salt Pond A16 swimming with a small flock of WILSON'S PHALAROPES. There were hundreds of Wilson's Phalaropes in both the pond and in the marsh (mostly basic plumaged adults and juveniles) and the juvenile BLACK SKIMMER was being closely attended by both of the adults on the first island (nearest the EEC headquarters). Our first stop this morning was the mouth of Stevens Creek. (We arrived about 9 AM which was 30 to 40 minutes to early and we had to wait as the tide receded before the shorebirds came in to feed.) Lots of "peeps," mostly WESTERN SANDPIPERS but included a few LEAST SANDPIPERS and a couple SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS. Included were good numbers of BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS (mostly basic plumaged but a few alternate plumaged), MARBLED GODWITS, WILLETS, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, Dowitchers, a LONG-BILLED CURLEW and a nicely marked WHIMBREL. At least one LEAST TERN was on the wooden walkway in Salt Pond A2E (just north of Crittenden Marsh).
