[rba] [mou] POSSIBLE RED PHALAROPE IN TWO HARBORS....

[rba at moumn.org]

This morning from approx. 10:00am to 10:30am I observed what I feel MIGHT  be 
RED PHALAROPE along the lakeside of the breakwater at Lighthouse Point.   The 
main thing to keep in mind here is that my experience with red necked vs red  
phalaropes is very limited, so the bird might well turn out to be a late  
rednecked phalarope.  I will post a picture in the showcase section and  then let 
the experts weigh in :)
Either way, I'll be happy with whatever the bird is determined to be  :)  
Also keep in mind that the picture is basically just for id, this is a  80% crop 
from the original.  The primary things that I kept in mind while  observing 
this bird was the thicker bill that at 100% enlargement does show some  light 
coloration at the base of the bill.  Also, time of year was  considered.  Any 
and all feedback appreciated, thanks.
Enjoy the fall.
Shawn Zierman.
