This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Tuesday, August 17th.
On the 15th, Phil Chu and Peder Svingen found a NEOTROPIC CORMORANT
in Big Stone County. It was in a pot hole on the north side of Big
Stone County Road 67, three-quarters of a mile west of Big Stone
County Road 21. This is in Otrey Township. With so much good habitat
in the area, it is quite possible that the bird is still around,
though I have no recent information.
Also of note was the unidentified KITE that soared over a Mounds
View, Ramsey County home on the 17th. Though the observer could not
be certain of the identification, it was likely a Mississippi Kite.
A CATTLE EGRET was just northeast of the intersection of Big Stone
County Road 8 and U.S. Highway 71 on the 14th. This is just north of
Thielke Lake.
Jay Hamernick found three AMERICAN AVOCETS in Anoka County on the
15th. They were along Anoka County Road 23 where it crosses the Rice
Creek.
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS have been reported migrating in good numbers from
many parts of the state. Jim Lind counted 1276 passing over Two
Harbors in Lake County on the 17th.
Likewise, warblers are also moving south. I have recent reports of
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, TENNESSEE WARBLER, CANADA WARBLER, NASHVILLE
WARBLER, and NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH.
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, August 26th.
