We saw the Al Eisner and the Mikes who were already focused one of the two RUFFs reported. Thanks to them, we got great looks at the female after a few minutes of searching in the same general direction. Mike Mammoser covered just about everything in his report, but we also noted a few RED-NECKED PHALAROPES at this stop, and close to 100 more along the railroad tracks. It's very interesting how these birds remain segregated from each other. Outside of SBB, we made an earlier top at Don Edwards on the Southeast end of Dumbarton. Lot's of WILSON'S PHALAROPES there too but no Red-necked in the main pools. DUNLIN, WESTERN and LEAST SANDPIPERS were in abundance. The most interesting bird located there was a nearly full albino BARN SWALLOW near the entrance road. It was completely snow white, save for a pale wash of buff on the belly. It had medium length streamers on its tail, so I assume it was not a full adult. From what I could see, it's eyes appeared pinkish. If it makes it through migration without being eaten, it will be a small miracle...
