I birded my way down to St. James yesterday, 10,9. I found good numbers of
American Pipits in Sibley (Gaylord Sewage Ponds) , Nicollet (Minnesota River
Bottom), Brown (Sleepy Eye Sewage Ponds) and Cottonwood Co. There also were
about 200 shorebirds at the Sleepy Eye Sewage Ponds, including about 50
Long-billed Dowitchers, more than 50 Greater & Lesser Yellowlegs, a Ruddy Turnstone, 2
Sanderlings, several Pectoral Sandpipers and a couple of Least Sandpipers.
I saw 22 Golden Plovers just south of the Red Rock Prairie Preserve in
Cottonwood Co. along with Lapland Longspurs, Pipits and Horned Larks. I did not see
any Smith's Longspurs on the Red Rock Prairie, but by the time I got to
Cottonwood Co. the wind had increased to about 25 mph.
