This message is to the gentleman I ran into this afternoon at the 180th street marsh in Dakota County (around 3 PM) - you were trying to photograph the swimming Sora. I think you dropped a piece of birding equipment out of your car since I found it at the first intersection west of the marsh.
Before I got there, a tractor passed this spot, and part of it sustained some damage. The most valuable part appears undamaged. If you back-channel me, I'd be happy to set up a dropoff. And for others on the list - birding at the marsh was slow. 4 Greater Yellowlegs and a Killdeer were the only shorebirds, but there were still plenty of Soras and Marsh Wrens.
