Today we went birding at the Albany Bulb and the south end of the Albany Mudflats. The highlight was seeing two Red-necked Phalaropes riding the waves that were pointed out by friends who were birding the area, and an Osprey flying overhead. We identified bird 22 species and saw three butterfly species (Cabbage White, Anise Swallowtail and West Coast Lady).

I was there around 11 am.It was while the tide was coming in. The best time would be to just after high tide as when the tide is going out is often the best time to see shorebirds and waders.
