As suspected, the Vermillion River has flooded the fields just east of the
Dakota C.R. 68 bridge over to Prairie Island (Goodhue Co.).  It should
improve for shore- and waterbirds in the days ahead as the water recedes.
Today the only shorebirds were yellowlegs and pecs.  There were numerous
Bonaparte's Gulls and waterfowl, including 3 Snow Geese.  Does anyone know
if Mississippi River flooding has produced any shore- and waterbird habitat
along Wabasha C.R. 24 ?
