On a quick trip to western MN checked out the shorebird area two miles from  
St.Leo in Yellow Medicine Co. Even though there were a couple of hunters  
shooting ducks I did see about 80 shorebirds including the following:
Lesser Yellow  legs  3
Pectoral                   4
Dowitcher(sp)          12
Dunlin                     15
Stilt  S                       3
Semi P Sandpiper      4
Least                        7
Unidentified peep      25  - great  distance
Other - medium sized too far to tell   6
 
Dawson sewage ponds      only 3 Dunlin and 1  water pipit
 
Large flocks of Cormorants and Pelicans on Cottonwood Lake  Lyon  Co.
 
As sun broke out one kettle of Redtailed Hawks-8 on US 59 south of  Clarkfield
 
Scattered individual Barn Swallows - 9
Weather pretty bad for birding most of the day.
