Red Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius)
This molting Red Phalarope, found on 9/14/07 by Josh and Sterling Southern, was still present the next day for the Chatham Co. Fall Migration Count. I believe this is the second report of Red Phalarope for Jordan Lake, though there are a handful of sightings from nearby Falls Lake. Digiscoped, Nikon CoolPix 995 + Kowa TSN-824, about 80x. | |
Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ50 + Olympus TCON17 (20x, equivalent to 714 mm lens). New Hope Creek mudflats, Jordan Lake, Chatham Co., NC 9/15/07. |
