[EBB Sightings] Phalarope "Trifecta" at Hayward Shoreline

Hi Birders,

At about 12:30 pm today,  Karen Peterson and I were able to view all three 
phalarope species at Frank's  Dump West.  We saw one each of Red and Wilson's 
(both breeding plumaged  females), but there were many Red-necked.  At one point 
I had all three  species in one scope view -- way cool!!

I found one Least Tern roosting  on a sand bar near the northern end of the 
pond.  There may have been more,  but I had to leave and get back to work.

Good birding,
Kathy  Robertson

The Red Phalarope was  still at Hayward Shoreline around 8:30am, where the 
west end of the pond is  close to the bay and trail, but it moved east along 
the north side of the  pond beyond the next island. A Least Tern flew past 
and out over the bay. No  Black Terns seen.
