There is a newly developed wetland called the "Ulen Project" a mile west of Hwy 32 on 200 AVE. N. about two miles north of Ulen MN. During the Detroit Lakes Festival of Birds an impressive list of shorebirds and waterfowl were found including Avocets, Hudsonian Godwits, Dulins and Dowitchers. Yesterday on his way to the airport, David Sibley visited the site and also found a Ruddy Turnstone and a flock of Prairie Chickens on the road next to the wetland. It appears that a pair of Avocets may be nesting there.
