I thought my shorebird search was going to be a bust today - only one at Albany sewage ponds was a spotted sandpiper. That was it! Found one excellent spot, on Stearns CR 4, 1.2 miles south of I-94 at the Meire Grove exit. Floodplain of the Sauk River was bustling with birds - waterfowl, herons, egrets, black terns and a bunch of shorebirds, including 3 marbled godwits, 4 dowitchers (assuming short-billed) and a pile of peeps. Two solitary sandpipers and one stilt sandpiper in the mix. Sorry Milt - no Hudsonian. Betsy Beneke St. Cloud
