This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday September 4th.
Peder Svingen found a juvenile SABINE'S GULL on August 30th at the
Red Lake Falls sewage ponds in Red Lake County, but it could not be
relocated the following day.
Also in the northwest over the weekend, a PRAIRIE FALCON was found
along Kittson County Road 10, ten miles east of Lake Bronson; an
AMERICAN AVOCET was at the Thief River Falls sewage ponds in
Pennington County; and a single RED KNOT was seen briefly at Agassiz
NWR in Marshall County.
At least one EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE is still in Pennington County at
the corner of 4th & State Street in Thief River Falls, and five more
were seen in Caledonia, Houston County near the town's city hall.
Both of the NEOTROPIC CORMORANTS were still present at the U.S.
Highway 75 dam in Lac Qui Parle County on September 1st. One was
relatively close to the road on the tree stumps and the other was
near the rock pile.
A CLARK'S GREBE can still be seen on Thielke Lake in Big Stone
County, and it was reported as recently as September 1st.
On August 31st, the immature LITTLE BLUE HERON was still present
along Whisper Lane in western Douglas County. An adult Little Blue
Heron was seen on the west side of Snelling Lake in St. Paul on the
31st. Check especially near the boat launch.
On September 1st, Dennis Meyer netted a juvenile CAROLINA WREN at his
banding station west of Big Fork in northern Itasca County.
The August 31st shorebird survey at Agassiz NWR in Marshall County
produced 1397 individuals of 18 species. Included in the count were
two BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, an AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, and three
RED-NECKED PHALAROPES.
At the Braun sod farms along Dakota County Road 3 there were a few
American Golden-Plovers and four BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS on the
29th. Also on August 29th, nine Buff-breasted Sandpipers were on the
grass runways of the Sleepy Eye airport in Brown County. And at the
Sleepy Eye sewage ponds there were sixteen Red-necked Phalarope.
Red-necked Phalaropes were also seen in the counties of Pennington,
Marshall, and Roseau.
Interesting was the pair of RED CROSSBILLS reported at Camden State
Park in Lyon County. They were seen on August 27th along the Blue
Bird Trail.
An obvious migrant SWAINSON'S HAWK was seen on the 27th on the Pine
and Kanabec county line. Other migrants being reported include
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, SWAINSON'S THRUSH, GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER,
