This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 22nd.
Twelve species of shorebirds were seen on the 17th at Salt Lake in
Lac Qui Parle County, including two SANDERLINGS. The following day in
Big Stone County, 3270 shorebirds of 16 species were counted
including 42 SOLITARY SANDPIPERS and a very early WHITE-RUMPED
SANDPIPER.
On the 19th, at the Lewiston Sewage Ponds in Winona County were nine
species of shorebirds, including SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, PECTORAL
SANDPIPER, STILT SANDPIPER, and SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER.
A EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE was reported on the 14th in Olivia, Renville
County. It appeared briefly at the backyard bird bath of Steve &
Chris Hettig.
On July 20th, a single CAROLINA WREN was at the Coon Rapids Dam
Regional Park on the Anoka County side of the Mississippi River. The
location of the bird was at the entrance to the park on the east side
of the pond next to the woods.
On the 18th a pair of BLUE GROSBEAKS was found south of Sleepy Eye in
Brown County. About 1.6 miles south of the intersection of Brown
County 22 on highway 4, turn right on the gravel road and drive to
the two large piles of gravel on the left. Check along the weedy
border that runs from the gravel piles to the trees. This is
private property, though the land owner has given permission for
birders to look around.
Finally, on the 17th, TENNESSEE WARBLER, NORTHERN PARULA, and
BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS were all seen in Fridley, Anoka County and
all appeared to be early fall migrants.
