[mou] Baird's sandpipers; loggerhead shrikes

[shively@polisci.umn.edu]

I don't know that either of these would rise to your level of "rare or 
unusual", but I had a group of 8 Baird's sandpipers at the Jirik sod 
farm this morning, and a pair of loggerhead shrikes which hung 
around the wires and shrubs along 180th street 1.6 mi. E of route 
52. (They were in that area at one point, and when I came back an 
hour later they were still there.)
