This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday, September 8th.
On September 7th, a dark jaeger was seen from the platform and
boardwalk at the public access to the beach at Park Point in Duluth.
This is about about 100 yards north of the airport buildings. On the
8th, a dark jaeger was seen again and appeared to be a POMARINE
JAEGER, though this identification is still tentative.
Also on the 7th, an immature LARK BUNTING was found at the 40th
Avenue West area of Duluth. Though not relocated the following day,
it may still be worth a look. Park at the yellow gate and walk in to
the impoundment area. As you cross the railroad tracks go right, and
just past the first corner was where the bird was first seen.
A SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER was discovered in Wilkin County on the
6th, northeast of the town of Breckenridge. Directions from
Breckenridge are: drive east on state highway 210 for nine miles and
turn north on 290th Avenue. Drive for ten miles, then turn east on
240th Street and drive to a farmstead. The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
was on the lower power line on the north side of the gravel road
between the 2nd and 3rd power pole.
I have a secondhand report of a MISSISSIPPI KITE seen from Hawk Ridge
in Duluth on the morning of the 8th.
As many as 13 CATTLE EGRETS were seen at mile marker 32 of interstate
94 just north of the Pelican Rapids exit in Otter Tail County.
On the 8th, a total of 1,650 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS was counted at
Black Dog Lake, Dakota County, west of power plant.
And finally, at the Maplewood Nature Center in Ramsey County, a
BREWSTER'S WARBLER was discovered on the 8th. It was seen near the
waterfall at the entrance.
