[mou] Shorebirds at Annandale sewage ponds, Wright County

[rdunlap at gustavus.edu]

This afternoon Bob Williams and I birded the large sewage ponds on the  
north side of Annandale in northwest Wright County. There are four  
ponds present here, and the water level in each was fairly low. The  
best habitat was at the pond farthest west. Present were:

Semipalmated Plover
Killldeer
Spotted Sandpiper
Lesser Yellowlegs
Solitary Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper
Wilson's Phalarope

I'm guessing these ponds will stay attractive to shorebirds in the  
weeks to come, and thus is probably a place worth checking out if  
you're in the area.
