Red-necked Phalaropes are often seen migrating
north later in the spring (Apr) than Wilson's, and then return
south later in the fall (Aug-Sep) than the Wilson's. Occasionally
they will outnumber the Wilson's, but not very often. Look for
both species in shallow water surrounding the Salton Sea, such
as Obsidian Butte and Red Hill Marina.
