HI:

This is a late report but worth reporting anyway.

At the mouth of the Miller Creek, which is the bay area past WLSSD =
Recycling area off 27th Ave. West.  There were the following species.

1 Stilt Sandpiper (1)
2 Lesser Yellowlegs (4)
3 Semipalmated Sandpiper (5)
4 Pectoral Sanpiper (2)

These were seen last Saturday but the area is worth investigating since =
the water levels are low and there is some mud exposed and a few sand =
bars.

Yesterday evening there was a small movement of Night Hawks. I counted =
around 300+ flying over.  Also I took some pictures of some recently =
fledged Northern Cardinals at my feeder.  Cardinals haven't really been =
documented as nesting in NE Minnesota but many birders know they do nest =
up here now. =20
