Red-necked Phalarope - Equestrian Park - Douglas

[Gregg Goodrich]

The 6 Red-necked Phalaropes are continuing at the Douglas County Equestrian Park as of yesterday 5/14 afternoon. This park is good for closer views of shorebirds and has a great mud flat and shore line on the south side. Other shorebirds included:

1 Marbled Godwit

9 Long-billed Dowitchers

3 American Avocets

1 Greater Yellowlegs

2 Wilson’s Phalaropes

1 Baird’s Sandpiper 

2 spotted Sandpipers

8 shorebirds at this little lake. Pretty cool. Here is my list with a few photos.

Chatfield Lake is up and the sand spit has disappeared.
