[mou] Whimbrel - Leech Lake, Cass County

[Andrew Birch]

Hello All,

Today, while birding Pelican Island on Leech Lake a Bald Eagle flushed
a Whimbrel.  The bird flew up and down the beach a few times before
heading straight east off the north end of the island.  Some VERY poor
photos can be seen here -

Also on Pelican Island - Bonaparte's Gulls, Caspian Terns, Lesser
Yellowlegs huge numbers of Pelicans, Cormorants, Gulls and Common
Terns.  Great place to spend a warm day!

Pelican island does have a "Closed Area", but there are shallows near
the island that are outside the closed area from where you can scope.
