Hello All, Today, while birding Pelican Island on Leech Lake a Bald Eagle flushed a Whimbrel. The bird flew up and down the beach a few times before heading straight east off the north end of the island. Some VERY poor photos can be seen here - http://picasaweb.google.com/andrewlbirch/Whimbrel
Also on Pelican Island - Bonaparte's Gulls, Caspian Terns, Lesser Yellowlegs huge numbers of Pelicans, Cormorants, Gulls and Common Terns. Great place to spend a warm day! Pelican island does have a "Closed Area", but there are shallows near the island that are outside the closed area from where you can scope. -- Andrew Birch _________________________ Blackwater Cabins www.blackwatercabins.com www.abirchphoto.com
