This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 17th.
A WHITE-WINGED DOVE visited the yard of Chris Elmgren in Duluth on
the 16th but apparently it has not been seen since. Birders are
welcome to visit. Take Rice Lake Road north and turn right on Emerson
Road. Drive to Church Road, turn left, and stop at 6177 Church Road.
The Clay County ROCK WREN at the Felton Prairie was relocated on the
13th and it has been joined by a second bird. Directions to the
gravel pit are: From state highway 9, take Clay County Road 108 east
to a T intersection. Go north and follow the road as it turns east,
and after a quarter of a mile look for the rock pile labeled #6006 in
the gravel pit.
A SAGE THRASHER was found June 16th by Dave Thurston along Pietz's
Road in Aitkin County, about 150 yards north of county road 18.
David Hampton reported three PACIFIC LOONS in Duluth on June 13th. He
saw them on Lake Superior from 48th Avenue East.
On the 13th, a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was seen on a telephone wire on
the east side of Scott County Road 27 about a quarter of a mile south
of County Road 42.
Most interesting was the singing BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER seen on
the 16th at Carlos Avery Refuge in Anoka County.
A very late WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW was reported on June 12th from
Baker Park in Hennepin County, but I have no other specific
information.
In Otter Tail County, a HENSLOW'S SPARROW was heard singing in
Glendalough State Park on June 10th.
