The Red Phalarope is still present and is usually seen in the vicinity of the 
end of Plover pad.  Early morning has been the best time to see it.  There were 
large rafts of ducks on the lake with a large variety of species but we were 
not able to count a lot of the ducks present because of limited time.  The 
Horned Grebe was seen at Deaver Pond.  Our final talley for the morning was 72
