This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday December 25th.
An adult gray morph GYRFALCON was found on the 20th in the Duluth
harbor, but I have no further details.
The HARLEQUIN DUCK is still being seen on Agate Bay in Two Harbors,
Lake County. It was reported as recently as the 21st.
Walter Pratt has a HERMIT THRUSH visiting his backyard near Lake of
the Isles in Kenwood, Hennepin County. The bird has been present for
a couple of weeks.
A TUFTED TITMOUSE is still being seen daily at the Mount Olivet
Retreat Center near Farmington in Dakota County. Directions to the
center from Minneapolis are to follow Interstate 35W south to Dakota
County Road 70. Turn left onto 70 and go four miles to Cedar Avenue.
Turn right, go 3 1/2 miles to 250th Street West. Turn right and drive
for one mile to Highview Avenue, turn left for .7 miles to 257th St.
and turn left again for 1/2 mile to the Retreat Center.
And on the 24th, as many as five YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were counted
in a clump of red cedar trees on Grey Cloud Island in Washington
County.
This state-wide birding report is brought to you and financially
supported by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU). The MOU is
Minnesota's oldest and largest bird club.
The report is composed from observations generously submitted by MOU
members and other birders throughout the state. You can support this
weekly update by submitting your bird reports to Anthony Hertzel at
axhertzel@sihope.com or by calling the hotline directly at
763-780-8890 and leaving a detailed message.
MOU members receive this report directly on MOU-net, the club's free
e-mail listservice, which is available to anyone interested. For
information contact David Cahlander at <david@cahlander.com>.
MOU members receive the organization's quarterly journal "The Loon"
and the bimonthly magazine, "Minnesota Birding". For membership
information, send an e-mail message to our membership secretary at
moumembers@yahoo.com.
In cooperation with the Minnesota Office of Tourism, highlights of
this hotline can be now heard at a toll free number which is
available to callers outside the Twin Cities area. The number is
1-800-657-3700.
The MOU is pleased to offer this service. Thank you, and good birding.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, January 1st.
