Red Phalarope at Erieau - a Rarity on a Weekend?
Just a short posting about an awesome rarity that showed up in the Chatham Kent area recently.
Red Phalarope was one of those birds I was assuming I would never see - but here we have a cute little bird that was in a very accessible location in the Erieau area on the North Shore of Lake Erie.
I had a chance to see Allen Woodliffe briefly as well as Rondeau Rick and a few other bird enthusiasts. It was so cold out though - I left soon after.
I think I had a chance to see a Rough Legged Hawk on the way home, but I'm not sure if its just a Red Tailed Hawk.
This bird is my 461st life bird species.
