Hi, While birding around Sleepy Eye I found a few late birds of interest. There's a first year male Baltimore Oriole visiting feeders at a home along the Cottonwood river in Iberia (a few miles SSW of Sleepy Eye). The property owners stopped by to ask what I was doing and told me it's been around for 3 weeks now. This was a birdy spot. There was also a male Purple Finch and 3 Common Redpolls landed in some nearby trees. I also found a winter plumaged Stilt Sandpiper foraging at the Sleepy Eye WTP's, along with a Pectoral Sandpiper.
