This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Sunday, May 9th.
Peder Svingen and Phil Chu found a RUFF in Big Stone County today. It
was seen for about twenty minutes at the junction of county roads 21
and 67, but the bird soon departed and was not seen again.
Bill Marengo found a SAY'S PHOEBE in Clay County on the 8th. He found
it 3.5 miles east of Felton on Clay County Road 34, or about half a
mile west of County Road 110. The bird was feeding along the road
side fences. Bill also found a ROCK WREN on the same day in the same
area. Directions are: From state highway 9, take Clay County Road 108
east. It will become a gravel road in about three miles and at the
'T' go north. The road will soon go east, and after a quarter of a
mile look for the gravel pit. The bird was on the right side of the
road going between the two large rock piles in the middle of the pit.
The rock piles are labeled "6006".
And a WESTERN TANAGER was reported on the 7th by Sally Jo Sorensen in
Collinwood Park, Wright County. The bird's location was described as
being on the main trail along the lake, south of the gravel parking
lot.
