[EBB Sightings] Don Edwards - Red-necked phalaropes

Today at Don Edwards NWR on the access road that runs parallel to the  
Dumbarton Bridge, there were thousands of tiny Red-necked Phalaropes  
in the former salt ponds, spinning and squeaking as they foraged for  
what must be millions of little insects that congregate there.  They  
seemed to be quite fearless as we walked along the road with our  
binocs and scopes.  Quite an impressive sight.

Best birding,
