We have three small lakes in drawdown in eastern Kandiyohi County. The three lakes (Wheeler, Schultz, and Hubbard) are on the east side of Diamond Lake and feed into Diamond. Pat Wheeler, a descendant of Wheeler Lake's namesake, told me today that there is a lot of exposed mud and he is seeing a lot of shorebirds and birds he normally never sees. I did not get out there this afternoon to check it out (had to divert to Cottonwood). Now that Garrett has us all fired up over shorebirds and drunk on Curlew Sandpiper excitement, maybe someone else will dig up something extraordinary in this Kandi spot.
And in case you missed it, Garrett is leading an MOU shorebirds trip based out of Cottonwood this weekend. He found the Curlew Sandpiper just to drum up participants for his trip. Garrett's advertising skills are rivaled only by his birding skills. Don't miss out on this opportunity!
