We drove past the Dakota County sod farms yesterday afternoon and clearly,
they had some really nice rain down there! At the Braun sod farm along
County Road 66 where we saw the buff-breasted sandpipers two weeks ago,
there were 50+ killdeer and some smaller shorebirds that were just too far
away
Visited both the Empire and Castle Rock sod farms today (Aug. 6)and no
shorebirds. Was hoping for early buff-breasted. The Castle Rock sod farms
are about one half stripped of sod, which may bode well if we get a lot of
rain this fall.
