This morning at the Jirik Sod Farms located in Dakota County on CR 79 (Blaine Ave), south of its intersection with CR 66 (200th St) I enjoyed watching 2 Short-billed Dowitchers on the east side of the road probing around in the wet muddy areas.  There were also 2 Buff-breasted Sandpipers present in the furthest southern field on the west side.  A low flying Northern Harrier kept the small numbers of shorebirds up and moving around a lot with numerous Killdeer and Horned Larks.
