This was confirmed by another birder at the time, same rare bird spotted by many other birders yesterday and earlier this morning. I saw the RBA and thought, I live so close, I have no excuse to miss this one! I'm still getting used to phone scoping so these photos are awful, sorry. I couldn't get the phone to work well with the scope zoomed in; everything was too unsteady especially when cars went by. I observed this bird spinning around and took some video, which I'll go through and edit and upload any stills if they are useable and maybe a GIF that shows the spinning.
This was really cool to see! That spinning is so cute 😍
Ack, I put the wrong phalarope down at first! I think it's fixed.
