Cory Lake (Hamlin WMA) in Lac qui Parle County is being pumped dry in order to kill rough fish, consolidate sediment, revitalize aquatic plant growth, and ultimately improve water and habitat quality as the basin refills next year and beyond. A substantial band of exposed mud flat has already started attracting a few hundred shorebirds. As long as the area doesn't get any significant rains, the lake should continue to come down and shorebird feeding conditions will likely continue to improve as the migration heats up. There is a ΒΌ mile long primitive landing/access (field road) on the east side of the lake. If folks make a visit, and they are willing to share information, I'd appreciate reports on numbers and species. Thank you!
