> Hey birders,
>
> Yesterday morning I had the chance to search Blue Earth County for good 
> shorebird habitat.  There are three locations worth mentioning:
>
> 1)  Just north of Gilfillin Lake in the northwestern part of the county is 
> a little slough. About 100 birds present: Lesser Yellowlegs, Pectoral, 
> Solitary, Semipalmated, Least Sandpipers, and Killdeer
>
> 2) Sod farms east of Mapleton at the junction of CR 21 and CR 14.  About 
> 200 Killdeer, 1 Least Sandpiper, and flocks of Horned Larks (Buff-breasted 
> present last week).
>
> 3)  Cobb River Waterfowl Production Area north of Mapleton.  Take CR 10 
> east from Hwy 22 (in Beauford) for less than a mile.  Turn south on 586th 
> Ave.  There's a pond near the road and one that was worth the walk.  About 
> 100 shorebirds present: Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Short-billed 
> Dowitcher, Solitary, Spotted, Pectoral, Least, Semipalmated Sandpipers, 
> and Killdeer.
>
> I also had two Peregrine Falcon sightings yesterday as well.  One bird was 
> hunting pigeons at a grain elevator south of Hwy 14 along 3rd Avenue in 
> Mankato.  The other bird was being harassed by an American Kestrel near a 
> farm along Hwy 14 east of Eagle Lake.
>
> Happy birding!

>> Location:     Park Point--Southworth Marsh
>> Observation date:     8/13/07
>> Notes:     Sixteen species of warblers observed by Peder H. Svingen in
>> one hour of birding at Southworth Marsh on Park Point, Duluth, MN
>> 8/13/2007. Winds were easterly at 10 mph and probably helped
>> concentrate migrants at this small preserve along the west side of
>> Park Point, between the Rowing Club and the bus turnaround. Four of
>> the warbler species seen today were not among those seen on the 9th,
>> so a total of 20 species has been found at Park Point in the last four
>> days. Also seen were three species of vireo and Veery, Swainson's
>> Thrush, and one Gray-cheeked Thrush.
>> Number of species:    42
>>
>> [non-warbler species removed from forwarded message]
