Hi Birders, Just returned from a lovely evening at Purgatory Creek Rec Area in Eden Prairie and we saw one buff-breasted! It was seen in the more distant of the two grassy mudflats (as described by DKieser). Fortunately, little by little it moved in closer (within 20m) and we were able to get great looks just with our binocs. A couple with a scope came by and we then got amazing looks-thanks so much to them. The golden light was perfect this time of day (around 730pm). A life bird for myself and Dan Karvonen.
We also had great up-close looks at a Solitary Sandpiper (single, like its namsake), yellowlegs, lots of Pec Pipers, and Caspian terns. Cheers, Alex _________________________________________________________________ Get ready for school!
