36 American Avocets were found on Parker Pool at Agassiz NWR this afternoon along the CR7. This is apparently the second highest count for American Avocets in Minnesota. In addition we refound the two Surf Scoters on headquarters pool . In the interior of the refuge we also found a single Ross's Goose. A total of 11 species of shore birds were counted today under difficult conditions of rain and muddy roads. Not all of the pools could be accessed today due to the condition of the roads.
