Edwin B Forsythe Refuge, New Jersey: Red Necked Phalarope
I saw reports for a while of a continuing Red Necked Phalarope in New Jersey - I had the chance to take a day trip so figured I would go to NJ instead of back to the Adirondacks mostly because I didn't want to make the 6 hour trip again. Upon arriving I was stunned at the size of the location - it was very impressive to say the least. Almost immediately I saw a Whimbrel, followed by a Caspian Tern, Gull Billed Terns, a pair of cooperative Clapper Rails, and lots of Forster's Terns. I drove around the refuge and found another birder who had the Red Necked Phalarope in his sights. I got great views of a great lifer! Also saw Short Billed Dowitchers and a Stilt Sandpiper.
