[SBB] Another Red Phalarope, East Pond, Sunnyvale Water treatment Plant



All,
 
This morning as I was checking out New Chicago Marsh I came across four birders on the railroad tracks who had found and identified a basic plumaged RED PHALAROPE (sorry I don't know their names).  I then called Peggy Don and asked her to post the sighting and was informed that Pat Kenny and Roland Kenner had already found Three REPH and had made a similar request of her.  Assuming that there may have been even more REPH fallout from the recent rain storm in the South Bay I then went to the Sunnyvale Water Treatment Plant where I found a fifth REPH in the northwest corner of the east pond.  Of the two REPH I saw today this one was the most likely to be re found as it was feeding on material being pumped into the pond from the channel between the two ponds and it was easily seen from close proximity.  The REPH in New Chicago Marsh was some distance away and I was unable to relocate it on my last check (it may have flown into Salt Pond A16 and unfortunately the EEC was closed today).  The only other "notables" today were the two adult female BARROW'S GOLDENEYE in Shoreline Lake who were staying very close to the adult male BAGO.
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
