This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 3rd.
There was a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT at Upper Sioux Agency State Park in
Yellow Medicine County on May 28th. The bird was seen and heard
directly across the highway from the contact station at the park. I
The CATTLE EGRET previously reported from Scott County was still
present on the 1st on the east side of county road 18 just south of
Crossings Boulevard. A Cattle Egret was in Jackson County on the
28th, along county road 4 just east of state highway 86. Another was
in Houston County on the 30th, a few miles east of Mound Prairie on
County Road 2.
Four SNOWY EGRETS were seen on the 30th in western Douglas County
near the intersection of Whisper Lane and Douglas County 19.
Interesting was the May 26th report of a FERRUGINOUS HAWK in Watonwan
County at the south end of Kansas Lake. This is about six and a half
miles southeast of Butterfield.
A COMMON MOORHEN was at Rosenau-Lambrecht WMA on June 1st at the
small marsh on the north side of Highway 14 about three miles west of
New Ulm in Brown County. Another Common Moorhen was in Cottage Grove,
Washington County on the same day. It was on a pond on the north side
of 100th Street South about a third of a mile east of Jamaica Ave.
Unusual was the WHIMBREL seen at the softball field complex in Ely,
St. Louis County on June 1st.
A NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was in Carver County on the 29th, along Grimms
Road, a third of a mile north of state highway 5.
A singing HENSLOW'S SPARROW was at Great River Bluffs State Park in
Winona County on May 31st. It was in the eastern-most field along the
north side of the main park drive, just before the road comes to a
hiking trail along a row of pines. A BELL'S VIREO was also seen in a
thicket just west of the Henslow's Sparrow location, also on the
north side of the road.
