This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 6th.
The BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was still at the levee in Fergus Falls, Otter
Tail County as recently as the 5th.
The BAND-TAILED PIGEON is still being seen near Hastings, Dakota
County where it has been visiting a home since November 20th. The
hosts are Hank and Carrol Tressel, 20240 Quentin Avenue East, and
while birders are always welcome, the Tressels have asked that no one
venture into their backyard.
An adult, gray GYRFALCON was seen on February 28th and again on March
1st at the Port Terminal area of the Duluth harbor.
Good numbers of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS can also be found in Duluth. One
flock is fairly regular at Oak and Maxwell streets in Lakewood
Township, and several more are roaming West Duluth. On the 6th a
large flock of waxwings was near Ordean School in East Duluth.
A SNOWY OWL was seen in Beltrami County on February 21st near the
Lake Bemidji water front across from the Amoco station in town, but
it has not been seen since.
Three GOLDEN EAGLES were seen on March 2nd. Two were in Wilkin County
near the intersection of 220th Ave. and 230th Street just west of the
Rothsay WMA area. The other was west of the Tamarac National Wildlife
Refuge along Becker County Road 26 about a mile east of 255th Street.
And one was in Clay County on the 5th about ten miles north of
Barnesville along I-94.
On March 1st, there was a LONG-TAILED DUCK in Goodhue County near the
top edge of Dam #3 on Prairie Island.
A MUTE SWAN was reported March 1st from the spillway trail off the
east side of Black Dog Road in Dakota County.
And that CAROLINA WREN is still being seen behind the Trails Edge
apartments in Faribault, Rice County. Dave Barkley reported it
earlier this week.
