This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday April 8th.
I have a secondhand report of a CINNAMON TEAL being found on April
6th at East Landfill Reservoir near Rochester, Olmsted County, but
subsequent reports indicate that this bird was a hybrid. At the same
location later that day, Jon Hockema found a LONG-TAILED DUCK.
As many as 1,200 CANVASBACK were counted on Lake Byllesby in Dakota
County on the 5th. Also seen on the lake shore were 23 PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS and a single LESSER YELLOWLEGS.
Four EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES were in Milan, Chippewa County, on the
4th. They were seen in south end of the business district but check
also near the grain elevators along U.S. Highway 75. Doves have also
begun nesting again on the electrical power substation in Caledonia,
Houston County. This is at the corner of East Lincoln and North Pine
streets.
The first BROAD-WINGED HAWK of the season was reported on the 2nd
from Carver County. I also have recent reports of WESTERN GREBE,
AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON, BONAPARTE'S GULL,
an early FORSTER'S TERN, BARN SWALLOW, and YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD.
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, April 15th.
