[mou] Avocets-Marshall County

[Jeanie Joppru]

36 American Avocets were found on Parker Pool at Agassiz NWR this
afternoon along the CR7. This is apparently the second highest count for
American Avocets in Minnesota. In addition we refound the two Surf
Scoters on headquarters pool . In the interior of the refuge we also
found a single Ross's Goose. A total of 11 species of shore birds were
counted today under difficult conditions of rain and muddy roads. Not
all of the pools could be accessed today due to the condition of the
roads.
