Just had ~100 red-necked phalaropes on Sloan's Lake. The birds were very active around the middle of the lake, even getting very close to shore on the West (Sheridan) side.
This is the 2nd time I've had RN Phalarope here - I had 25 birds in September of 2013 spend about 10 minutes trying not to get shredded by waterskiiers before taking off and heading south.
Not much otherwise in terms of passerines - a few western wood pewees, say's phoebes, brewers sparrows, yellow warbler, and common yellowthroat. All 6 swallows are likely out there again, as last weekend I had all of them in a single tree- best looks at bank swallows I've ever had...
