I was expecting the continuing Yellowlegs, but this time FINALLY saw the Phalarope, doing its typical circling/stirring feeding behavior. It was in the west waters (south side), far west end but very close to the road. 
> My apologies to the woman named Rose (if I recall correctly), whom I had met there the day prior; she was correct about phalaropes being there, and I was apparently correct that I wasn't seeing the same birds she had seen. They were farther back then, and I had forgotten how pale the males are, remembering the colorful females. In any case being without the scope and full Sibley book that day, didn't help!
