Hi Birders,

This afternoon I dragged my oh so cooperative husband away from the =
football game to go to the Lafayette Reservoir in search of the Red =
Phalarope.  Many thanks to John Poole for the details on the location.  =
The bird was right there in the water feeding in the "kelp" at the east =
end of the dam.  From time to time it ventured out away from the face of =
the dam around the cattails, but then returned.  It was viewed and =
photographed by me and Mark and Cheryl (sp?) Reynolds.  Sorry my photos =
are only 3x, so not so good for posting - and, alas, I have a slow =
dial-up connection.  It was observed around 2pm.  It was a "lifer" for =
me.

Other species of note,  It was a short trip, thus the short list,

Black Phoebe
Spotted Sandpiper
Kildeer
Buffleheads
DC Cormorants
Mallards
Coots
Pied-billed grebe
Pair of RT Hawks circling overhead
