At Purgatory Creek Recreation Area, 13001 Technology Drive, Eden Prairie, at 6 pm, we saw a male Ruddy Turnstone and a Dunlin (the Dunlin did not appear to have a full black belly patch). They were first spotted on the sand island with many Caspian Terns, Ring-billed Gulls, a few Forester's Terns and 2 American White Pelicans. The Dunlin then flew over to the grass covered island east of the sand island (we were then at the observation platform on the west shoreline).
The water is getting low and Spotted Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers can still be seen on the mud flats. George Skinner and Anne Hanley Minnetonka, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
