Two very good spots were found this PM for shorebirds.

Hwy 79, 1 mile east of the city limits of Elbow Lake,  there were about 500
birds present before the Peregrine disrupted the viewing and mixed
everything up.  Afterwards there were considerably fewer but the flooded
field is huge and will fill up again with shorebirds. 8 species

Spink WPA, about 9 miles south of Elbow Lake on Hwy 54, west on Cty Rd 34
6/10s of a mile.  A temporarily drained marsh.  10 species, a little over
200 birds but good habitat that will get more birds.

As people find good areas please post them for all to enjoy.
