Happy Phalarope Day

It’s been a joy having several Wilson’s Phalarope (male and 2+ chicks) present at Gull Point for an extended period this summer. As a rare species for Erie County, for lots of folks it’s the first time ever seeing this species (“lifer”) = a happy occasion. These shots are from last Saturday afternoon under sunny conditions.

Wishing everyone in the American colonies a happy Independence (from the Kingdom of Great Britain) Day!

      Truly great to have breeding Wilcon’s Phalarope at Gull Point this year, and lucky to have a few encounters with decent photography conditions.
