The daily turnover of good numbers(for this area) of shorebirds continues in
Carver County. I have never birded so consistently for shorebirds during the
spring season, so this may not be that abnormal. Though the amount of
suitable shorebird habitat(still quite a few flooded fields though some have
dried to mud) at this time of year is abnormal. It should only be a couple
weeks til the first shorebirds(Least Sandpiper) begin to head south.
