Hello Tom, and all others,
The New Germany wetlands are quite wide. I don't think binoculars would be
of much value.
That said, I was there on Sunday and the water was very high. Birds that
forage in mud were elsewhere, also the egrets and herons were scarce.
I noticed Purgatory Creek in Eden
I really enjoy the birding groups on Facebook. Some of them do a very good
job of very rapid notification of rare sightings. That being said I took a
break from Facebook about 7 weeks ago and plan to stay off until after the
election. So this is my main source other than eBird emails!
Thanks
There are two very popular bird ID groups on Facebook: What’s this Bird? run by
the ABA and The Bird Identification Group of the World run by community
members. The chief differences between the two are that The Bird ID Group
requires reasonings for IDs or hints to be given to lead the poster
Stopped there briefly this afternoon. The water is too high for shorebirds. I
didn’t see anything of interest but I didn’t take the time to scope.

I tend to agree with much that has been said about Facebook. I do enjoy it for
contact with others and other interesting posts( not the ads), however , but
not for bird sightings. It is too diffuse, too many ways to report, and you

Hiking the bike trail, just west of the 35E bridge, this morning around
7:45, I had a second glimpse of a Wren who caught my attention by its long,
bright white supercilium. The bird was foraging on the wooded bluff side of
the trail. Its only vocalizations were a few alarm rattles; it stayed

I agree with Jim and everyone who posted on this thread. I do not have a
Facebook account and I am no fan of Facebook even if I was willing to
monitor 10 Facebook sites to keep up. Facebook is a black hole for
advertising dollars and the damage is palpable (see today's StarTribune, op

the spring, and have no idea if it has any potential for mudflats, but it
sounded as though it might attract migrators at some point.

Amen to Mr. Chapman’s comments on Facebook. It is a scourge, a curse, a misery.
There is no conscience there, only greed and complete disregard for damage

Lake Byllesby reservoir is a recreational lake during the summer and they
keep the water levels high until after Labor Day, when they start to draw
down the water and expose the mud flats. For that reason it is better for
shorebirds in the spring than the fall.

I’d like to add my thanks. I’m at most a rare and reluctant facebook user. I
