Chet Meyers writes: I visited the Belle Plaine sewage ponds this morning; arrived about 8:45 and found the following: 1 Avocet, 1 Least Sandpiper, 15 Willet, 1 Wilson's Phalarope, 6 Spotted Sandpipers, a bunch of Lesser Yellowlegs and the ubiquitous Killdeer. 3 species arrived while I was watching. Most of them did not stay around long as they seemed anxious to head north. When I left most had gone. Nothing much at Purgatory Creek excepet Greater Yellowlegs and, for me, FOY Rough-winged Swallows and Forster's Terns. Chet Meyers
