[mou] Good Goodhue County shorebird spot

[Dedrick Benz]

John Hockema and I found 8 species of shorebirds near Treasure Island Casino in Goodhue County on Sunday.  This spot has been OK in past years, but this year the area looks exceptionally good.
 
Last weekend I had about 6 species, but today we had:
 
Killdeer
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Stilt Sandpiper
Baird's Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Spotted Sandpiper
 
Great Egret (at least 30!)
 
This spot is along the south side of Sturgeon Lake Rd (ie, the road to Treasure Island) just east of it's intersection with County 18 Blvd.  I usually park at the sports bar on the north side of Sturgeon Lake Rd, then cross the road.
