My wife I walked through the flooded Bartlet Lake Rd in Winona this afternoon. A decent sized flock of peeps was fairly tolerant and allowed us to take a few photos. There were 40+ Semipalmated Sandpipers, 12 Least Sandpipers, 1 White-rumped, and an unidentified one. Please backchannel me via email or comment on the flickr link with any points that would separate the two likely species.
