Hello, and welcome to the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union. To leave a
message for anyone at the MOU, press 2. Messages are retrieved each
Tuesday and Friday. You can bypass the following weekly birding
report and leave a sighting by pressing 1 at any time.
This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 13th.
A GYRFALCON was again seen in the Duluth-Superior area over the
weekend. This bird is apparently difficult to find and has been seen
in the Port Terminal, at Canal Park, and at the Superior Landfill.
Paul Schlick reported a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE from the Grand Superior
Lodge in Castle Danger, Lake County on the 10th. The bird was seen on
the west side of the lodge.
Also on the 10th, Craig Mandel relocated a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE
which had been reported in the town of Renville in Renville County.
It was found in a tree just north of the railroad tracks near the
grain elevator. From U.S. Highway 212, go north on Main Street to
Railroad Street and turn right. The bird was found one block east of
this intersection and north of the tracks. On the 12th, Bob Dunlap
found a Eurasian Collared-Dove near New Germany in northwestern
Carver County. He found it perched on a tree along Yancy Avenue just
beyond the creek that runs south from state highway 7.
In Blue Earth, Faribault County, a VARIED THRUSH has been in Janet
Williams' backyard since March 10th. And on the 7th, another Varied
Thrush visited the feeders in Ann Grunke's back yard in South St.
Cloud, Stearns County.
Chris Benson heard a NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWL along Aitkin County Road
18 near the Hebron Cemetery on March 5th. A GREAT GRAY OWL was found
along state highway 65 near the Rice Lake Wildlife Refuge in Aitkin
County on the same day.
Karen Sussman reported a flock of BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS in the town of
Virginia, St. Louis Couty on the 9th at the corner of 3rd Avenue and
3rd Street North.
And finally, the female BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was still at the levee in
Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County as recently as the 8th. And the
BAND-TAILED PIGEON is still being seen near Hastings, Dakota County
where it has been visiting the home of Hank and Carrol Tressel since
late November. The Tressels live at 20240 Quentin Avenue East.
