I saw the Black-ncked Stilts at the Belle Plaine Sewage Ponds between 5:00 
and 5:30 pm.  While watching the two Black-necked Stilts with Tony Hertzel, a 
Peregrine Falcon came and buzzed the ponds alarming all the shorebirds except 
the two stilts.  As we watched the Peregrine make a second pass I spotted a 
third Black-necked Stilt flying low over the sewage pond.  Both Tony and I got a 
good look at all three birds.

The Black-necked Stilts were still at the Belle Plaine Sewage Ponds at 5:30 
when I left.  They seemed to be quite content on the pond.
