This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday, September 15th.
On the 15th, Mike Henderickson found a juvenile SABINE'S GULL in
Duluth on the bayside of Lake Superior just west of the Park Point
ball fields. It has not been reported since but may still be in the
area.
Also along Park Point the were four unidentified JAEGERS, one was
over Lake Superior at 12th street and three were near the Sky Harbor
airport.
On the 15th, Jim Pomplun found a CAROLINA WREN at the Old Cedar
Bridge in Hennepin County. It was across the water from the first
opening along Hog Back Ridge Trail just east of the parking lot.
Four BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were found at Jirik's Sod Farm in
Dakota County on the 11th. Jirik's Sod Farm is on Dakota County Road
79 about half a mile south of its intersection with Dakota County
Road 66.
A juvenile YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was seen on the 11th at the
Pigs Eye area of the Mississippi River in southern Ramsey County.
From Interstate 494, exit on Maxwell Street and go north. When the
road comes to a T, turn left and follow the curve to the right where
the street becomes Red Rock Road. The bird was in a pond here on the
right.
Interesting was the juvenile ROSS'S GOOSE found September 9th in a
farm field about a quarter of a mile west of the junction of state
highway 1 and Koochiching County Road 14.
I have no recent reports of the TOWNSEND'S WARBLER seen last weekend
at Linwood Lake in Anoka County, nor of the RED PHALAROPE found on
the 11th at the north end of Salt Lake in Lac Qui Parle County. The
warbler was last reported on the 11th, and the phalarope on the 12th.
