I received a phone call from my friend David Walmark this morning to let me=
know he had seen 30 ruddy turnstones and two whimbrels at Hell's Point. H=
e had described a bird at Hirtle's Beach the other day=2C which I determine=
d was a phalarope. A great horned owl was also seen at Hell's Point. =20

I started shorebird surveys at Hell's Point last year in Kingsburg and ther=
efore=2C went with David back out there this evening. My survey was interu=
pted by a merlin swooping in=2C but before then I was able to see: Willets=

rt-billed dowitcher 7=2C Stilt sandpiper 1=2C Semi-palmated sandpiper 5 and=
spotted sandpiper 1. The phalaropes were swimming inside a channel on the=
shoreline about thirty feet from where David and I stood and allowed for e=
asy observation. I also saw 10 red phalaropes in flight offshore. This is=
the best look I've ever had of phalaropes here and the easist and longest=
