This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 1st.
On June 26th, Kent Nickell found a female BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER in
the Sax-Zim bog area of St. Louis County along Owl Avenue, a half
mile south of its junction with county road 52.
On the 27th, a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was reported near downtown
Virginia, St. Louis County, in a small field near the Range Monument
and the bike trail.
A singing male YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT was found by Kim Eckert on June
26th at the Felton Prairie in Clay County. From Felton go south two
miles to county road 108, then east two miles. When the road splits,
turn right and drive about a half a mile. After passing the gravel
pits on the left and just before the S curve, look for the gully and
thicket on your right.
I had a second hand report of a SAY'S PHOEBE from northern Hubbard
County. It was seen about June 26th in a yard along U.S. Highway 71,
one and a half miles south of South Lake Plantagenette Road. I have
no other information at this time.
A LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH was found by Barb and Denny Martin in Pine
County over the weekend. It was seen and heard where the Tamarack
River meets the St. Croix River, about a mile north of state highway
48.
A LARK BUNTING has been reported from Springfield in Brown County
over the past several days, though the habitat seems to be atypical
for this species. From U.S. Highway 14 go south on Cass Avenue for
four blocks and turn right on Central Street. Drive two blocks and
turn left onto O'Connell Avenue. Park at Schwarzrock's Gravel Pit and
look for the paved trail. There is a bench near where this trail
begins. Follow the trail to the river and where the paved path goes
north, take the gravel path south. The Lark Bunting was reported just
past the bend in the river.
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, July 8th.
