Stopped by Purgatory Creek rec area in Eden Prairie today to check out
shorebirds.? The leasts are still hanging around along with lots of Killdeer
and a few spotted sandpipers.? I also saw one shorebird that had markings very
similar to the lesast sandpiper.? However, it was larger, more the size of the
killdeer and i was fortunate enough to have it standing right next to a least
for comparison.? I was not able to get my scope to focus well enough to get a
good look at the rump and lost track of the bird when I switched to
binoculars.? If you happen to get over there and run across this sandpiper, I'd
be interested to hear your ID.
