Chet Meyers writes: Drove down to the Jirik Sod farms in Dakota County (didn't have time to do Castle Rock) to see what the recent deluge had to offer...not much at all. Saw a grand total of 2 killdeer and 6 American golden plovers (one close to breeding plumage). I found no buff-breasted sandpipers which I had hoped to photograph. There is minimal standing water and a good portion of the sod has been stripped from one of the main fields. Chet Meyers Hennepin County
