[birdky] Re: RPT: No Red Crossbills on Wednesday afternoon

We did not see the Red-necked Phalarope until about 5:30 pm and then lost it 
when the birds flew.  I attempted to call Mark so that he could post to birdky 
but there was no answer.  By the time Aaron refound the bird it was close to 
6:00 and we couldn't think of anyone that we thought would be able to make the 
trip before dark.
