~Love, love, loved this bird! WILSON’S PHALAROPE at DeKorte Park, 8\/15\/16.~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Okay, so at what point do I change the name of this blog to Bergen Birding? Over the weekend, another GREAT bird – a WILSON\u2019S PHALAROPE, was located at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. I didn\u2019t go for it then, I but today after work, I ran for the bird and luckily the bird not only stuck around, it was very accommodating for photos. I was talking with Chris Takacs while viewing the bird, and he indicated that this was likely a young bird. The bird is absolutely beautiful, white as white can be with a long very thin and pointy bill. It fed nearly the entire time I was there, only stopping to preen and then relax for a short time. This is the second time I\u2019ve seen a Wilson\u2019s Phalarope, my lifer <\/a>was at the Liberty Loop back in April of 2013.<\/p>\n

Huge thanks to both Maria Loukeris and Denise Farrel, who kept me posted with the alerts for this bird today.<\/p>\n
