Greetings, Patience paid off this morning at Portland Fairgrounds, as a few others and I were treated to the female RED-NECKED PHALAROPE approaching as close as six feet.  She was oblivious to us as she foraged in the shallow rain pool. A few photos are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/avocetfm/ Frank Mantlik Stratford

Larry, I have heard of no reports, positive or negative. And there have been no eBird reports through 8:55 this morning.
