This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Sunday, May 16th.
Today, a potential second state record CURLEW SANDPIPER was found
today near near Clinton, Big Stone County, but the bird has not been
relocated since its initial discovery. From U.S. Highway 75, go west
on Big Stone County Road 4 for four miles, then turn north on County
Road 61 for 8/10ths of a mile. Park and walk to the east into the
field with a track of wheel ruts, The wetland where the bird was
found is just to the northeast after walking about 200 yards.
Three BLACK-NECKED STILTS were found today at Spindler Pond in Steele
County. The pond is approximately one mile west of Rice Lake State
Park, which is about six miles east of the town of Owatonna on Rose
Street. Also today, three additional Black-necked Stilts were found
at the Belle Plaine sewage ponds in Scott County. The ponds are along
Scott County Road 6 about a mile south of town.
Shawn Conrad reported a LARK BUNTING on Creek Road in Itasca County
today. Take state highway 65 north out of Nashwauk for about a mile
and a half, and just past county road 8, turn left onto Creek Road.
The Lark Bunting was about half a mile down Creek Road on the left.
A male PAINTED BUNTING has been coming to a feeding station at a
residence south of Detroit Lakes in Becker County. Apparently he has
been a regular since Friday. Directions: Go 5-1/2 miles south of
Detroit Lakes on highway 59. Turn right onto County Road 22 for about
a mile, and turn left onto Timber Lane. In the cul-de-sac, look for
12932 Timber Lane,
