Doug Booher, Amy Bishop, and I visited Balmorhea Lake, Reeves County, today.
The highlights included a Sabine's Gull and an adult Red-necked Phalarope. The
phalarope was very pale, but is probably within the normal range of variation
for adults.

Clark’s Grebe – 50+

I put images of the gull and phalarope on my Flickr page

not great, particularly the phalarope.
