Hello:

I was curious if any of the Common Moorhens might still be found at the =
previously reported location west of New Ulm and this afternoon I did =
find one of the juvenile birds along the north edge of the marsh.  This =
evening I found three American-Golden Plovers at the Sleepy Eye sewage =
ponds.  They were molting between their breeding and nonbreeding =
plumages. These are the first ones I've seen this fall.=20

I still haven't seen any Buff-breasted Sandpipers this year and I've =
been looking regularly for them at the local airport.  Last fall there =
were good numbers of them around here.  Funny how different migration =
can change from one year to the next.  I guess that's part of the =
challenge that makes birding so interesting. =20
