[mou] A whirligig of phalaropes

[John Schladweiler]

Yesterday I found about 200 red phalaropes on the sewage ponds just
southeast of the town of Heron Lake.  The only other shorebirds present
were a 20 or so killdeer.  There were 40-50 Franklin's gulls and a
smattering of mallards and wood ducks.
