[mou] Sewage Pond Swing

[JELLISBIRD@aol.com]

Five Greater, two Lesser Yellowlegs at Belle Plain, no shorebirds at Le 
Sueur, St. Peter or Nicollet Ponds. Only Pied-Billed Grebes (no other Grebes) at 
the south end of Swan Lake. One Yellow Headed Blackbird at Swan. At Red Rock and 
Jeffers I saw mostly Meadowlarks, Ring-Necked Pheasants and Vesper Sparrows. 
(I almost turned a chestnut-less Vesper into a first-year Smith's Longspur, 
but I finally gave up.) A beautiful day but slow birding.
