I stopped at the Sleepy Eye sewage ponds on my way home from the MBW and was rewarded with a beautiful black-bellied plover in breeding plumage. It was walking on the berm between the front and back ponds.
There was plenty of activity in the back pond - 30+ Wilson's phalaropes, 5 Willets, many peeps and yellowlegs, and a few dunlin. Also a nice variety of waterfowl. I also found several red-necked grebes on Braunworth lake, just NE of Young America on 25. This morning, red-breasted grosbeaks and Baltimore oriole at the feeders.
