There was a single bedraggled-looking American Pipit bobbing along the gravel point on the east side of Lake Como this evening. This was the first time I've seen one within the metro area.
Continuing birds on the lake include Bufflehead, Ruddy Ducks, Lesser Scaup, Pied-billed Grebes and 1 Common Loon, as well as several spotted sandpipers. One spotted sandpiper spent some time a foot or two away from the pipit, making for a pair of "bobbers". Not much for songbird action other than the Yellow-rumps and kinglets; however, yesterday I found a Least Flycatcher, also on the east side.
