[mou] Shorebirds: Dakota Co.

[Steve Weston]

thursday

Lake Bylessby:  Hundreds of smaller shorebirds.  No Avocets or other unusual shorebirds.  Eight species ID'd including at
least 120 Dunlin, perhaps the most numerous species.  Others included Semi-palmated Plover and SB Dowitcher (>12).  Also
present over 200 Pelicans and 4 Caspian Terns and a least one Common tern.

Empire area:  Not much suitable habitat for shorebirds, but that should change with today's rain.
