This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday, August 25th.
Today, I had a secondhand report of a possible FORK-TAILED FLYCATCHER
at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Carver County.
The bird was originally observed on the 23rd and has not been seen
since its initial discovery near the Learning Center.
A RUDDY TURNSTONE was on the south shore of the Purgatory Creek
wetland area in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County on the 24th.
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS have also been reported in this area
recently. Buff-breasted Sandpipers were also found in good numbers at
Mud Lake in Traverse County, north of the public access.
On August 22nd, a GREAT GRAY OWL was along Owl Avenue in the Sax-Zim
Bog area of St. Louis County. It was found just north of the bend in
the road.
On August 20th, Kim Eckert reported both a SHORT-EARED OWL and an
early WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW in Grand Marais, Cook County. The owl was
flying over the harbor in the early evening, and the sparrow was
found at a feeder at one of the campsites by the inner harbor.
The pair of THREE-TOED WOODPECKERS was still present in Koochiching
County on the 22nd. They've been seen 2.3 miles south of County Road
1 on County Road 13 since July 20th.
And fall migrants continue to arrive from points farther north. I
have recent reports of SWAINSON'S THRUSH, BAY-BREASTED WARBLER,
CANADA WARBLER, and WILSON'S WARBLER.
