[mou] Buff-breasted Sandpipers, Blue Earth County

[rdunlap at gustavus.edu]

This afternoon Bob Williams and I found two Buff-breasted Sandpipers  
at the sod farm in southeastern Blue Earth County along CR 21 just  
west of CR 14. There is extensive sod on both sides of the road; the  
birds were on the north side. This farm is about 5 miles east of  
Mapleton.

Also, the shorebird spot in Nicollet County at the new WMA on the east  
side of Hwy. 111 about one mile north of Hwy. 99 from the town of  
Nicollet is currently booming. This morning there were well over 100  
individuals of 12 species present.

We also found an early Olive-sided Flycatcher near Perch Lake in  
Martin County.
