I found a female Red-necked Phalarope in a fluddle on the north side of Oliver Road, about 0.3 of a mile west of Harrison Road, northwest of Rockford, late this afternoon. It was still there at 5:45 p.m. Also present were 4 Dunlin in breeding plumage, a couple of Spotted Sandpipers, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, and a couple of SemiPlovers. On the south side of the road were 11 SB Dowitchers and a hen Hooded Merganser and her brood.
