This evening around 5:30 pm. at Eagle Lake (far west-central McLeod Cty.) there were 2 White-faced Ibis. Unfortunately as I returned to my car they flew off to the north.
The Eagle Lake water level has been drawn down significantly, so that this evening there were at least 600+ Pectoral Sands. (counting loosely by tens), more than 150 Lesser Yellowlegs, large numbers of Greater YLegs, a large host of all typical dabbler ducks, about 10 Trumpeter Swans, 1 Bonaparte's Gull (in non-breeding plumage), and other expected waterfowl. The only public access is on the north side of this lake, reached by taking Wells Ave. north from 115th St (CR 89).
