[mou-net] Iowa Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

[Don Kienholz]

There is an apparent Sharp-tailed Sandpiper being seen today and discovered 
yesterday in Iowa. The location is East of Des Moines. Not too far south of the 
border! Information and maps are found on the Iowa listserve. I guess one 
should be checking the late Pectoral Sandpipers in MN as this bird is hanging 
with a group of them.
