If anyone is interested, I have posted a number of photos of a gorgeous 
juvenile Red Phalarope that has been at Mallard Lake (BIg Lake NWR) in 
extreme northeast AR the past few days. The light was terrible the 3 hours 
Gail King and I were with the bird yesterday morning, so most shots are at 
ISO 1600 and f/5.6. But, the bird was cooperative (tame) enough that it 
didn't really matter. At times the bird was within my minimum focusing 
distance of 11 feet!

I have created a new gallery for this bird:

Or, the 1st image starts here: 
http://www.pbase.com/mctodd/image/117993979/original  Be sure the images are 
viewed at the original size, not the large. There is very little difference 
in the size of the images, but the large setting is heavily compressed and 
takes a lot of sharpness away.

Otherwise, not much else to report. I did have a couple of 1st-year 
Franklin's Gulls on Reelfoot Lake when I made a loop thru that area on the 
way home.

Good Birding!!
