Between 5:30pm and 6:00pm Apr. 15, I counted just over 350 individual shorebirds at the west end of Rice Lake. Most of these were Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs along with a handful of Dunlin, one Least Sandpiper, nine Hudsonian Godwits and one Marbled Godwit. The godwits, to the best of my judgment, were just west of the county line, placing them in Carver county. Good luck county listers !! There was a similar sized group of shorebirds towards the middle of the lake, but approaching storms prevented me from scanning these.
