Mary and I headed out to Knutsford last night at 6:30. In the end, we needed more time as there was too much to see between then and dark. The Separation lake area list would have been much longer if we had spent more time there. Lots of migrants in the area currently. Highlights at Separation lake included a single Long-billed Dowitcher flying around calling, a single Black Tern up high, a resting Bonaparte’s Gull, and 2 Red-necked Phalarope fidgetting about on the lake
