On a whim I decided to check out the shorebird habitat at 610th St 1mi
west of Cedar Mills in Meeker Cty.  I was hoping for White-faced Ibis
(showed up there last year) but alas It was not to be.  However, there
were loads of shorebirds there.  At least 150-200 total with the
following species present:
 
Least Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Stilt Sandpiper
Baird's Sandpiper
Lesser Yellowlegs
Greater Yellowlegs
Pectoral Sandpiper
Solitary Sandpiper
 
No Dowitcher unfortunately like was reported last weekend.
 
Driving back towards town I wandered through New Germany to discovered
everything around yancy/yale was super high in terms of water levels (no
shorebirds).  I also checked Cty Rd 32 and Cty Rd 30 east of New
Germany.  No flooded fields yet.  As I was heading up McCloud Cty Rd 1
however, on my way towards New Germany I had an Upland Sandpiper perched
on a power line.
