Yesterday a single relatively early Dunlin was observed among the hundreds of Pectoral Sandpipers at Virgin Lake in Palo Alto county, and today a single Yellow-headed Blackbird was at Dan Green Slough and a single Forster's Tern was early to be working the north end of Trumbull Lake this far north in Clay county.
Ninety-two Greater White-fronted Geese and seventeen Snow Geese were still at Dan Green Slough today along with a good variety of other waterfowl. I still could not find a Smith's Longspur this far north but I got lots of exercise walking good open habitat in the Dewey's Pasture complex today. They are keeping me fit and giving me fits at the same time! Lee A.
