Last evening (5/3) I walked  the Brainerd Levee behind Boyd-Buchanan
School.  The water is drying quickly making some great shorebird and
wader habitat.  Highlights included:

 

1 juvenile Little Blue Heron

1 adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron

5 Green Herons

3 Great Egrets

14 Least Sandpipers

2 Spotted Sandpipers

3 Solitary Sandpipers

25 Bobolinks

8 American Coots

1 Savannah Sparrow
