This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, September 2nd.
On Saturday, August 28th there was a report of ten IBIS at the
Wildlife Management Area on Lac Qui Parle County Road 13, one mile
south of highway 40. I have no further information of these birds.
A SNOWY EGRET was reported from Murray County on August 31st, about a
mile and a half south of the Lyon-Murray County Line just west of
U.S. Highway 59. Another Snowy Egret was found near Manfred Township
in Lac Qui Parle County on the 28th, but I have no specific location.
And on the 27th there was a Snowy Egret on the Bois de Sioux River
just below White Rock Dam in Traverse County on the Minnesota/South
Dakota line.
An adult YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was seen throughout the day on
August 27th on the west side of Lily Lake in West St. Paul, Ramsey
County. The bird was in the northeast portion of the property owned
by the Oakdale Community Church, but the heron has not been reported
since then.
Seven BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were at the Jirik Sod Farms in Empire,
Dakota County on September 1st. Three more were at the Purgatory
Creek wetland in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, on August 31st.
Southbound migrant warblers reported in the past several days include
MOURNING WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, and CANADA
WARBLER.
And finally, I have a report of a possible Whooping Crane seen
somewhere along I-494 east of Fort Snelling in Hennepin County, but
no other information was provided.
