Phalaropes at Del Rey Lagoon, pre-storm
Yesterday afternoon around 4:30, about 60 Red-necked Phalaropes zipped into Del Rey Lagoon (Playa del Rey), wheeled about for about 5 minutes, and settled at the north end in a tight mass. This was just as the big winds started picking up (storm approaching off the Pacific). Rarely do these two coincide in fall (storms and RNPH). I didn't stick around to see what else came in. Stay tuned...

Hello, I am new to birding and came across your blog while looking for information about birds in the Ballona Creek area. I saw a couple of red-necked phalaropes in the creek the day after you saw them in Del Rey Lagoon, and your post helped confirm that was the type of bird I saw! Just wanted to say hello and let you know I've enjoyed reading your blog!
