[va-bird] Re: Red-necked Phalarope Still At Huntley Meadows, 5/23/03

number of birders saw the red-necked phalarope this evening between 7 & 
8.  inside the boardwalk loop, and really in the middle.  bird we saw 
was in alternate plummage, but had the neck pattern of a make. but red 
was much righter than a males, and the head pattern was a female -- 
appeared as tho the bird is a female in molt from basis to alternate.  
also got a good display of nighthawks over the tree starting a bit after 
8.   jck
