I just received a call from Jim Ryan reporting 2 Piping Plovers at a pond at a construction site at 117th Street and Hwy 65 in Blaine. Also there: 2 Black-bellied Plovers and of course a Killdeer to harass the Piping Plovers. I wonder if we have been missing the Piping Plovers coming through by not checking enough degraded puddles. They sure don't seam to be choosing high quality habitats.
Also he reports that were a good mix of shorebirds at 89th Street east of Hwy 65 in the soccur complex. Steve Weston on Quigley Lake in Eagan [email protected]
