7/26/2008 Louisville Swamp Unit Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge
Led a trip to the Louisville Swamp Unit of the MVNWR this afternoon and found a few species of interest. There is a good spot for shorebirds, where the trail crosses over Sand Creek. There were several hundred Killdeer there this afternoon and 5 other species of shorebirds. This area should be good for a period of time and there is a nice grassy area that should be a spot to check for Buff-breasted Sandpipers. Here are a few of the species observed this afternoon: American White Pelican Sandhill Crane Brown Thrasher Eastern Towhee Craig Mandel Minnetonka, MN EgretCMan at msn.com
