Wilson's Phalarope and Break-In - 21 Aug 2003
21 August 2003 Pt. Mouillee SGA, Monroe Co.
1600 Hrs. I parked at Roberts Road and headed out to Cell 2 to look for shorebirds. It was a hot 85F day with high humidity. A Northern Flicker was perched in the trees next to the parking lot.
I arrived at Cell 2 and found a pair of Wilson's Phalaropes foraging close enough for some nice digiscoping opportunities with the Nikon CP990 (hand-held). Lesser Yellowlegs and Semipalmated Sandpipers made for nice size contrast.
When I returned to the parking lot I found that my car had been busted into. Grr. The window was smashed in and the radio stolen. There had been a rash of break-ins the past few days and I was the latest victim. Serves me right for being the only car in the lot...
This will probably be my last birding outing until Christmas Bird Count 2003...
