Long-billed Dowitcher in Sherburne County
2020-10-18

Occasional in Sherburne County in the Fall season

In Stickney Pool, at the end of the Sherburne NWR Wildlife Drive, as reported previously by others. I counted 11 dowitchers there today, along with two Greater Yellowlegs and several Killdeer. The shallow ponds and marshes are beginning to ice over, but there was enough open water around the edge for these dowitchers yet.
