During a very windy & rainy Minn. Birding Weekends trip to Nobles &
Jackson Co's March 27-28, we found a very early Long-billed Dowitcher
on Saturday in Worthington on a partly flooded athletic field. The
bird was with 3 snipe and was still present Sunday. This field is
visible along the N side of Hwy 59/60 on the SE side of town. Also of
interest:
Gr White-fronted Goose - an estimated 300-400 along Nobles Co Rd 18,
2.5 mi W of Kinbrae
Ross's Goose - at least 2 at this same location; 2 flying NW over L
Bella in Nobles Co; 2 at the Jackson sewage ponds (note: relatively
few Snow & Canada geese found -- most had already flown N)
Am White Pelican & Franklin's Gull - both at L Bella
Great-tailed Grackle - 3 males + 2 females on Jackson Co Rd 4, 3/4 mi
W of Hwy 86; plus another male on Co Rd 4 just E of Hwy 86
