Here are shorebird counts (247 individuals, 12 species) at Giese WPA between 0720 and 0820 this morning. I also had a singing Le Conte's Sparrow about 100 yards in from the NW access to the WPA. Please see Sara Vacek's posting for more information and links to a map of the WPA. -- Peder H. Svingen Duluth, MN
