The Purgatory Creek Wetlands in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County have stepped up a notch for Spring Migration. The last two mornings I have enjoyed seeing and hearing the raspy vocalizations of the Forster's Terns, this morning there were 5. The water level is still high with very little shoreline exposed but there is one small bare mudflat that continues to be attractive and the Gulls consume most of it. A scope would be needed to clearly see from the walking path surrounding the wetlands. The shorebirds seen from the walking bridge were:
1 ~ Least 2 ~ Pectoral 6 ~ Greater Yellowlegs 5 ~ Lesser Yellowlegs Barn Swallow The Pergatory Creek Wetlands is in Eden Prairie between MN Hwy 5 and US Hwy 212 on the south side of Prairie Center Drive behind the Flagship Corporate Center.
