This morning at Lake Byllesby in Dakota County there was a variety of shorebirds. Much to our surprise Susan Schumacher and I observed 4 basic plumage American Golden Plovers together out on the mudflats. There was also 21 Pectoral Sandpipers, 3 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Greater Yellowlegs and 1 little Least Sandpiper in the midst of the Pectorals.
