[mou] Hudsonian Godwit, Nicollet County

[rdunlap at gac.edu]

This afternoon I found a female Hudsonian Godwit in a flooded field  
north of the twon of Nicollet. About a mile north of Hwy. 99 on Hwy.  
111 there is what appears to be a new wildlife management area access  
on the east side of the highway. Drive into this area and park in the  
gravel lot at the end, then look to your east to the flooded fields in  
front of the wetlands. This is where the bird was foraging.

Also the Willet and at least one Red-necked Phalarope were still  
present at the Gaylord sewage ponds in Sibley County along with other  
species. Also notable were a couple breeding-plumaged Sanderlings and  
two Ruddy Turnstones.
