This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday April 28th.
A WHITE-FACED IBIS was on the west side of Lake Osakis in Douglas
County on the 25th and it was still being reported from there as
recently as yesterday. It is on the west side of Douglas County Road
10 about one and a quarter miles northeast of Douglas County Road 3.
Just under a mile south of this location a CATTLE EGRET was reported
on the 22nd, and a CLARK'S GREBE has been reported from this lake as
well near the Todd County line. Check the public access in the town
of Osakis.
A SNOWY EGRET was seen in central Otter Tail County on the 28th. The
location is across from a Waterfowl Production Area, one and a
quarter miles east of the town of Underwood on Otter Tail County Road
122. Three Snowy Egrets were on the east side of Thielke Lake in Big
Stone County on the same day.
Interesting was the ROSS'S GOOSE at Wood Lake Nature Center in
Richfield, Hennepin County. It was seen there on the 25th. What may
have been the same bird was on a ball field at Normandale Community
College in Bloomington on the 22nd. And a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE
was on Snelling Lake at Fort Snelling State Park in Hennepin County
on the 24th.
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH have returned to several of their traditional
breeding grounds in southeastern Minnesota, including the Whitewater
Wildlife Management Area in Wabasha and Winona counties. Two pair
were along the Trout Run Trail on the 21st. Others have been heard at
Beaver Creek Valley State Park in Houston County.
The list of other recent arrivals reported in the past week is to
long to mention all of them here, but include AMERICAN BITTERN, GREEN
HERON, SORA, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, HUDSONIAN GODWIT, WILLET, SOLITARY
SANDPIPER, WILSON'S PHALAROPE, CHIMNEY SWIFT, WARBLING VIREO, MARSH
WREN, SEDGE WREN, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, PALM
WARBLER, PINE WARBLER, and CLAY-COLORED SPARROW.
