The wetlands on the east side of Hwy. 4 just north of the MN River in
extreme western Nicollet County are very productive right now. There
are extensive mudflats surrounding the water, and there is plenty of
water present, so this spot should stay good for a while yet. Present
this morning were:
Semipalmated Plover
Killdeer
Spotted Sandpiper
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Baird's Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Stilt Sandpiper
Short-billed Dowitcher
Wilson's Snipe
Well over 100 individuals were present. Some of the birds were closer
to the highway, while some of the birds were a bit distant towards the
eastern end of the wetlands.
