First Round Votes

6/16/2013 13:38 Cameron Rutt Class III – Sight record documented by one observer. Although difficult to describe the difference between Red and Red-necked Phalaropes in flight, this documentation did so sufficiently, primarily in the “Similar Species” box.

6/8/2013 3:59 Dave DeReamus Class III – Sight record documented by one observer.

6/11/2013 2:08 Devich Farbotnik Class III – Sight record documented by one observer.

6/3/2013 17:43 Drew Weber Class III – Sight record documented by one observer. Good description and elimination of other species.

4/18/2013 22:00 Mike Fialkovich Class III – Sight record documented by one observer.

10/2/2013 13:46 Mike Lanzone Class IV-A – record is probably correct, but not beyond reasonable doubt. Observer saw this bird in flight and does not mention the easiest way to ID the species in flight when its in basic plumage. From his description I can not completely rule out RNPH

10/2/2013 23:20 Ben Coulter Class III – Sight record documented by one observer.
