The Sabine Gull was missing at Serpent Lake sewage ponds this afternoon,
as were all of the Bonapartes Gulls. Nothing there but about 15 Ring-billed
Gulls (Probably because I couldn't find the operator...Oh well.)
Osakis sewage ponds still had the single Blue Phase Snow Goose my sons
and I saw in early August as well as three Wilson's Phalaropes and about 300+
Franklins Gulls. Albany sewage ponds had thousands of swallows...swarming
everywhere. Not many ducks on either ponds. Saw eight C.Loons off the wayside
at
Garrison and 35 C. Mergansers. A slow day all in all.
