After a long summer and fall of high water, mud flats (and a few =
shorebirds) are once again present at Lake Byllesby in Dakota Co. Today =
I found 6 species:

Sanderling - 1
Dunlin - 6
Pectoral Sp. - 1
Am. Golden Plover - 2
Killdeer - 10
Wilson's Snipe - 1

I plan to meet with the Dakota County folks who manage the water levels =
at Lake Byllesby to find out why the lake was so high all year (perhaps =
because of the drought) and, hopefully, to work with them to manage the =
lake levels more favorably for shorebirds in the future. =20
