This morning I took a walk along Park Point. One of the biggest highlights of the morning was seeing a Buff-breasted Sandpiper! Unfortunately due to dogs not on their leashes, the Buff-breasted Sandpiper (and a flock of shorebirds nearby) were scared away by the dogs on the beach.
Shorebird diversity was great this morning. Also, one Bonaparte's Gull was seen way out over the open water; and just before pulling up to the main parking lot, a fast-flying Merlin flew overhead. This morning's shots of Semipalmated Sandpipers and Least Sandpipers are the best photos I ever took of both species. I hope to share my photos your-way tomorrow! Below is my eBird list from the morning. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11407324 Good birding, Erik Bruhnke Duluth, MN -- *NATURALLY AVIAN* - Birding Tours and Bird photograpy birdf...@gmail.com www.pbase.com/birdfedr www.facebook.com/NaturallyAvian www.naturallyavian.blogspot.com ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
