[mou] NO Whimbrel, Hennepin Co., 9 Aug.

[Chu, Philip]

All:

The two Whimbrels at Purgatory Creek Recreation Area last evening were *not*
seen this morning.  I was there from 0730 to 0900, and spoke with Steve
Carlson who had been there since before 0600, and both of us "came up
empty."

Actually, "came up empty" isn't quite right, as I tallied just under 270
shorebirds of 10 species, with a single American Golden-plover being the
most interesting of the lot.
