Red-necked Phalarope At Jamaica Bay

Both the East and the West Ponds out at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge were very high after the rain on Saturday.  A Red-necked Phalarope was at the south end of the East Pond.  It was a life bird for me.

I missed by a half hour, two Bald Eagles, who had flown over the pond before I arrived.  Win some, lose some!
