Subject: [mou] Sunday Shorebirds in Renville County
The flooded field just south of Boon Lake in northeastern Renville =
County (about 10 mi. west of Hutchinson) that was found by =
Dunlap/Frichtman/Hockema 2 weeks ago is still bustling with shorebirds =
and about 30-35 Amer. Pipits.
Most interesting (and quite a strange coincidence!) was a one-legged =
White-rumped Sandpiper, AND a one-legged Amer. Golden Plover, both =
hopping around accompanied by loyal two-legged mates.=20
Other than the flock of Pipits and a group of 35-40 Pectoral Sandpipers, =
the other shorebirds seemed to come in pairs:
White-Rumped Sandpiper--2
Am.Golden Plover--2
Killdeer--2 (yup, only 2)
(the many Least Sandpipers and a pair of Dunlin that were there last =
weekend were not seen at all this afternoon).
Red-tailed Hawks are patrolling the countryside seemingly every other =
mile or so.
Pete Hoeger, Hutchinson
