winged teal; Only saw four shore birds - Greater Yellow legs and a =
spotted sandpiper, could not tell what the other two were. There was no =
shoreline or mud flats at the Headquarters Pond at Agassiz this year! =
Also we did not see a meadowlark until we were almost back in East Grand =
Forks. One of the eagles was standing on the side of the nest that is =
near the EGF lagoons.
