After enjoying seeing the Surf Scoter in Winona I decided to visit Lewiston MN. I wanted to see if I could relocated the White-winged Dove that had been seen there and also to see the Lewiston sewage ponds before they go dry and we lose a reliable shore bird spot in Winona County. At the sewage ponds there were about 100 shorebirds and were mostly Greater and Lesser Yellow-legs, Pectoral Sandpipers, Killdeer.1 Long-billed Dowitcher, and 8 American Pipits. I then drove into town and searched for the White-winged Dove. I saw Rock Doves, Mourning Doves, Eurasian Collared Doves, and then finally a glimpse of a White-winged Dove as it flew away. Tried re-finding it for about an hour and then re-found it about1:50 pm across from the St. Johns Church were I was able to see it very well about 15 feet away in a red maple tree. Thanks to those who originally posted these birds. -- THANK YOU, *Scott A.
