This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, September 27th 2007.

Molly Malecek and Ben Wieland found a first winter BLACK-THROATED
SPARROW at Lake Winnibigoshish in Cass County on the 22nd. From U.S.
Highway 2, take Cass County Road 91 northwest for 3.3 miles, then turn
right on Painted Turtle Road. Drive about one mile to a dead end at a
campsite near the lake shore. The bird was feeding on the ground near
the woods on the right side of the campsite.

Phil Chu reported two immature SABINE'S GULLS at Salt Lake in Lac Qui
Parle County on the morning of September 22nd. Three SABINE'S GULLS were
at Park Point in Duluth on the 21st. Jim Lind found them while scanning
Lake Superior from the Sky Harbor airport. Both POMARINE JAEGER and
PARASITIC JAEGER and a LITTLE GULL also have been reported from this
area.

On the 18th, an immature YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was discovered near
Minnehaha Creek and Lake Hiawatha in south Minneapolis. Check the trees
on the north side of the creek near the intersection of 28th Avenue
South and 47th Street East.

A WESTERN TANAGER was seen in Duluth on the 20th. It was near the
evergreen trees at the back of the Comfort Inn at Canal Park.
