At approximately 4:00 PM on the 25th, Phil Chu and I observed a Piping Plover along highway 12, about one mile east of its intersection with highway 75 near Ortonville. It was along the far edge of a pond on the north side of the highway. One adult Clark's Grebe was found among a total of 140 Western Grebes at Thielke Lake, Big Stone County.
