I birded my way down to St. James yesterday, 10,9. I found good numbers of American Pipits in Sibley (Gaylord Sewage Ponds) , Nicollet (Minnesota River Bottom), Brown (Sleepy Eye Sewage Ponds) and Cottonwood Co. There also were about 200 shorebirds at the Sleepy Eye Sewage Ponds, including about 50 Long-billed Dowitchers, more than 50 Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs, a Ruddy Turnstone, 2 Sanderlings, several Pectoral Sandpipers and a couple of Least Sandpipers. I saw 22 Golden Plovers just south of the Red Rock Prairie Preserve in Cottonwood Co. along with Lapland Longspurs, Pipits and Horned Larks. I did not see any Smith's Longspurs on the Red Rock Prairie, but by the time I got to Cottonwood Co. the wind had increased to about 25 mph. --part1_152.252c583d.2cb80403_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3D3 FAMILY=3D"SANSSERIF" FACE= =3D"Arial" LANG=3D"0">I birded my way down to St. James yesterday, 10,9.&nbs= p; I found good numbers of American Pipits in Sibley (Gaylord Sewage Ponds)=20= , Nicollet (Minnesota River Bottom), Brown (Sleepy Eye Sewage Ponds) and Cot= tonwood Co.
