Yesterday Kevin Smith and I found a Marbled Godwit at the Bird Island WTP. When I posted a photo on the MOU web site, it registered as first record for Renville County in the fall season. If I had realized that yesterday, I would have posted a notice from my iPhone. My apologies.
We also found a number of other species of shorebirds there. We saw the Upland Sandpipers and Buff-breasted Sandpipers that have been reported by others at mowed alfalfa fields sw of CoRd 2 & 520th in Renville County, though in smaller numbers, and the Blue Grosbeak at Krugman air strip. Other good stops for shorebirds were New Auburn WTP in Sibley Co., Miedd Lake in Yellow Medicine Co., and the cattle pond on CR 111 in Nicollet Co. Good birding to all!
