In addition to the Pig's Eye Lake shorebird spots posted recently by Erik Collins, Ramsey County has another spot that is currently attracting shorebirds: the west side of White Bear Lake. Park along Banning Ave., Stewart Ave., or Morehead Ave. north of Lake Ave. and walk south across the road to the paved walking trail from which you can view the lake shore. Around noon today I found only Killdeer and Lesser Yellowlegs, but I'd imagine other species will appear here yet this spring. A Bonaparte's Gull and Forster's Tern were also sitting on the rocks farther out among the Ring-billed Gulls.
