Several Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows were heard singing at the NW corner of the HWY 8 bridge were it crosses the Boy River in Cass County on August 29, 2005.
On the same day I also saw five Lesser Yellowlegs, one Pectoral Sandpiper and one Spotted Sandpiper on the Walker settling ponds. A small flock of Bonaparte's Gulls were also seen in the ponds. The Walker Ponds are located west off of Hwy 371 driving north toward town take a left turn west turn on Ah-GWAH-ching road and then a right on 73rd Street N before entering the Ah-GHWA-Ching State Health Care facility. Follow 73rd Street the west up the hill at which you will see two small ponds on the north and one large pond to the South, all accessible from outside of the security fencing. Also over the weekend The Longville settling ponds contained three Lesser Yellowlegs and a number of Least Sandpipers. The Longville settling ponds are north off of Hwy 84 on Pond Road within the northwestern portion of Longville. The ponds are immediately adjacent to the airport and are easily accessible from outside of the security fencing. All locations were obtained through the help of Ben Weiland, Deep Portage Learning Center, Cass County. Scott Meyer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
