This afternoon I was driving to pick my daughter up from a softball game and caught a glimpse of some shorebirds on the rocks just west of the fishing dock on the south end of Lake Harriet. I had pick up Emma so I went and got her and came back. There were 8 breeding plumage Willet on the rocks of one of the small islands at the South end of the lake.
Here are some images I took. What is interesting to me is how worn some of the plumage is:
