inland Red Phalarope Dust Devil Trail Del Mar

In the largest pond which is the most eastern     Smooth Gray back   thickish bill  with orange at the base ( thanks to Commander Ginsburg  for telling me about the orange  as its  a very good field mark}. 
For those that dont go on boats this might be an easy pelagic  bird to get even in the rain with an umbrella    The drainage is good there so it should not be muddy and its the only phalarope     some grainy photos in my ebird report
and if your still reading the only sandpipers I saw were some dowitcher spas
