Today John and Chris Hockema and I birded Grass Lake in Ramsey Cty. We found a Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers and Killdeer at the lake. (thanks Erik Collins for the info)
The directions to the area to view the mud flat are as follows.Enter the area at the corner of Mackubin St. and Gramsie Road. Walk down the first dirt road that goes to the right.... This is before the hill to the parking lot. Walk past the power tower and take the first path to the left. follow the trail past the first path that goes off to the left and keep walking past a low area where you can see the mud area. We tried walking to the mud at that point but it was difficult to see anything. If you continue on the path it will go up higher before entering the woods again. That is the area where Chris bush crashed out to the mud flat. Long pants and shoes that might get wet are appropriate.
