Great weather combined with 1000s of shorebirds resulted in a successful =
weekend workshop. All of the expected shorebird species were around. The =
noteworthy birds found were not shorebirds -- immature Little Blue =
Heron; White Faced Ibis; Snowy Egret and Gray Partridge (all in South =
Dakota).=20
The Ruff has not been seen since Friday morning but to make up for it a =
White-winged Dove* was found Saturday (Section #6 Otrey Twp. Big Stone =
Co. MN) and an immature Black-bellied Whistling Duck* was located Sunday =
morning in a wetland on the east side of Co. Rd. #12 (Section #8 Otrey =
Twp.) A Clark's Grebe** was on the South side of Thileke Lake. Gray =
Partridges were also found in Big Stone Co. MN.

The low water conditions at Salt Lake have produced a wide margin of =
suitable shorebird habitat and large numbers of shorebirds are using =
that area.=20
