This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, April 29,
2005 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218) 847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888

This has been a cold week, and it is having an effect on both the
migrants and the birders. New reports of arriving migrants have
dwindled, but somehow the leaves continue to progress, and if the recent
frosts do not damage them , we will have leaves by the time the warblers
show up.

In Todd County on April 24, Beau Shroyer observed a BROAD-WINGED HAWK
near CR 2 and US 71 . Mary Kroll reported a calling NORTHERN SAW-WHET
OWL from a tamarac bog five miles NE of Long Prairie. Ben Fritchman
reported two CATTLE EGRETS in Todd County on April 28. To get to their
location, go south from Long Prairie on US 71 to CR 10, then east on CR
10 to CR 11, north on CR 11 for one mile and turn left on a dead end
road. The egrets were with the cattle.

Susan Wiste reported CEDAR WAXWINGS and a lingering PINE SISKIN in
Douglas County near Alexandria this week.

Bob O'Connor was birding at Felton Prairie in Clay County on April 24.

NIGHT-HERON, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, HERMIT THRUSH, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER,
and SWAMP SPARROW among others. A CATTLE EGRET was observed on April 24
by Dave Myhrer 6.5 miles east of Agassiz NWR headquarters. Elsewhere in

In Clearwater County, Pat found thousands of TUNDRA SWANS, 19

SPARROW, and SONG SPARROW.

Melanie Torkelson reported that a PEREGRINE FALCON was observed at the
