Sunday afternoon I found a handful of shorebirds in a wet field on the south side of Co. Rd. 8 about 2 miles west of Ceylon(just west of 80th Ave)in southwest Martin County. I had American Golden Plover, Baird's Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, Greater Yellowlegs and several Wilson's Snipe. Earlier I found 2 Red-necked Grebes on Lura Lake in southern Blue Earth County at the boat launch on the NW side of the lake. In general many lakes still had ice. The best lakes for waterfowl were Lura, Okamanpeedan in southern Martin County and South Walnut in eastern Faribault County. Bob Williams, Bloomington =20
