Good day at Jirik Sod Farms with the following species seen: Am. Golden Plover- 12-15 birds present very close to the road. Some still had partial breeding plumage so I was able to see the black on the undertail coverts and gold on back. I believe the birds were gone by the time I left at around 12:45. Peregrine Falcon- Flying over but did not come down to harass the shorebirds. Wilson's Snipe- 1 Least Sand.- 2 Pectoral Sand- 1 L. Yellowlegs- 3 Spotted Sand.- 3 Killdeer- At least 70 Purgatory Creek- What a difference a day makes! There are virtually no exposed mudflats. I still saw the following in the short time I was there: Pectoral Sand- 5 Least Sand.- 3 Yellowlegs- At least 20, especially common at the small pond before the blind. Green-winged teal- Many in non-breeding plumage. Am. White Pelican- 1 Good Birding, Jason Caddy South Minneapolis j.caddy at hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________ See what people are saying about Windows Live.
