This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 29th.
A male RUFF was found in Big Stone County on the 25th and it was
still present today. From the junction of Big Stone County Roads 12
and 10 go east half a mile, then go north on an unmarked dirt road
for 3/4 of a mile. The bird has been seen in a pot hole on left.
Unusual was the July 26th sighting of a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER on
the fairway of the #1 hole at the Two Harbors golf course in Lake
County. This is about a quarter mile east of the clubhouse.
Most unusual was the apparent adult light-morph ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK
reported July 23rd at Red Rock Prairie, Cottonwood County, and it was
last seen flying to the southwest.
A SHORT-EARED OWL was in Home Township, Norman County, on the 23rd.
This was along the west side of County Road 158, three-quarters of a
mile north of County Road 39.
