First, the late post--the Eastside WMA in Rochester (County Road 9, east of the college campus) had great shorebird habitat a few days ago while I was in town visiting family. On Thursday evening there was a Woodcock, Great Horned Owl, distant Barred Owls; on Friday morning there was a group of about 50 egrets and great blue herons (about 25 each) and approximately 40 shorebirds: mostly yellowlegs, peeps and killdeer but a smattering of a few others, including phalaropes, white-rumped sandpiper, stilt sandpiper, and a possible willet (too far to say 100%). Also a couple Pipits.
Second, this morning at Sucker Lake (Ramsey Co.): Wood Thrush, a couple Trumpeter Swans, several Philadelphia Vireo, Yellow-Bellied Flycatcher, and a handful of warbler species including Golden-Winged and Black-Throated Green.
