To clarify Alyssa's previous post regarding the 7 American Avocets at the Bass Ponds in Hennepin County:
The birds were at the far EAST end of Long Meadow Lake, so when you walk down the hill to the lower parking lot take your first left. You will pass over a trout stream and then a pond on your right, and the lake will begin on your left. As the trail bends to the right, look to the far shore to your left (the east end of Long Meadow Lake). This is where the Avocets were. Also, the credit for finding these birds goes to Jake Musser.
