This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 5th.
A CLARK'S GREBE was on Timm Lake in Yellow Medicine County on August
2nd. Craig Mandel found it on the southern shore from county road 46
on the Redwood County line. On the same day he found a SNOW GOOSE at
the Echo sewage ponds in Yellow Medicine County.
The August 1st shorebird survey in Big Stone County produced 6124
total individuals of 18 species. The survey covered 120 miles and
recorded a record high 176 GREATER YELLOWLEGS, a record high 2287
LESSER YELLOWLEGS, and a record high 44 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS. Other
birds recorded include 143 SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, 2 AMERICAN AVOCETS,
and 1 SANDERLING.
Unusual was the ROSS'S GOOSE seen south of Lamberton in Cottonwood
County on July 29th, but no specific location was given
Finally, I have a belated report from July 20th of a pair of
THREE-TOED WOODPECKERS seen along Koochiching County Road 13, 2.3
miles south of county road 1.
