The  Ruddy Turnstone continued at Lake Needwood through
2:55 pm today.   Park on the bridge and look to the
south, the big part of the lake (where  the avocet was
a few years ago).  Also present were  Least,
Semipalmated, and Spotted Sandpipers, Semipalmated
Plover,  Killdeer, and yellowlegs.

Hi all, 
After a call from Rob at about 3 PM I took off for Lake  Needwood about 3:30, 
and searched in vain, in the rain, on the muddy plain from  about 4 PM until 
I left about 4:50, soaked and dejected. Though the bird  may have still been 
there, conditions were really not conducive to finding it.  The rain was 
blowing across the road in torrents, and even with an umbrella, I  got very wet. I 
will try again in the AM.
