[mou] Willets in Itasca County

[Earl Orf]

Shorebirds are very hard to find in Itasca County because we just don't have
the right habitat.  So, I was pleasantly surprised to find two Willets at
the Trout Lake boat landing in the town of Coleraine yesterday.  They were
resting on a rock point near some Ring-billed Gulls.  When they flew up,
circled around and landed again in the same spot I saw the diagnostic black
and white wing pattern of the Willet.

 

I also saw a Solitary Sandpiper in a small pond near our driveway.  We live
near Highway 169 and CR 7 (also called the Scenic Highway).
