This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 4th.

Three BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were found by Kim Eckert at Mud Lake
in Traverse County on July 30th. From the junction of state highways
117 and 27, go 1/4 of a mile on 117, then take the first right along
the Mustinka River and follow this road north for about a mile to the
flooded field adjacent to the shore of Mud Lake. One of the Buff-
breasteds Sandpipers was here and the other two were just north of here.

On August 3rd, Jim Mattsson reported numerous shorebirds at a Dakota
County wetland along 180th Street, half a mile west of Goodwin
Avenue. Among the species found were SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, LESSER
YELLOWLEGS, STILT SANDPIPER, and PECTORAL SANDPIPER.

On August 1st, Rick Pertilly found a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD in
Minneapolis along the walking trail that runs along the north side of
Betty Crocker Drive between U.S. Highway 169 and General Mills
Boulevard.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, August 11th.
