Yesterday at Jirok sod farm, late morning, we saw 2 buff breasted, as well as least, Baird's, and semi-palmated sandpipers. Numerous killdeers too. There were several other groups of birders there at the time.

Meyers <chetmey...@visi.com> via moumn.org) There were about a half dozen 'buffies' at the Jirik sod farms in Dakota County, but the water is drying up fast and the birds were following around a sod- cutting machine quite a distance away. Would anyone finding ANY shorebirds in either numbers or variety (especially in the 7-county Metro area) please post. It was a frustrating spring and late summer doesn't look much better. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
