This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 12th.
As is typical at this time of year, the majority of reports are of
southbound shorebirds.
An August 6th survey of Mud Lake in Traverse County as well as
several spots in Lac Qui Parle County produced a total of 15,232
shorebirds, and among the 23 species found were BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER,
AMERICAN AVOCET, WILLET, HUDSONIAN GODWIT, WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER,
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, and RED-NECKED PHALAROPE.
As well, large numbers of shorebirds were reported from a wetland two
miles north and two miles east of St. Leo in Yellow Medicine County.
On the 10th there were as many as 1500 shorebirds present of 14
species.
And on the 9th, an AMERICAN AVOCET was at a wetland in Eden Prairie,
Dakota County. The location is in the southwest corner of the
intersection of state highway 5 and Prairie Center Drive.
