This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, August 5,
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.

It has been a hot, humid week in the northwest, but Thursday saw a
return to more pleasant temperatures. Young birds are appearing at
feeders, and now that nesting season is nearly over, there have been
some reports of warblers, probably those that nested nearby. Shorebirds
are starting to show up in this area, but seem to be spread out in small
groups this year in some of the temporary wetlands and muddy spots. On
another note, it appears that bears are appearing at feeders in the
northwest lately, including ours. This is presumably because of a
shortage of fruit in the woods. If you are feeding suet, be aware of
this and place it carefully or not at all for awhile.

Shelley Steva found a LARK SPARROW in Red Lake County on July 29, just
north of the Plummer wastewater treatment ponds.

In Polk County on July 29, Pat Rice observed three SWAINSON'S HAWKS
along MN 92 west of Gully. On the 31st, she stopped at the Erskine
wastewater treatment ponds where there were  SEMIPALMATED PLOVER,
KILLDEER, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, SOLITARY SANDPIPER,
LEAST SANDPIPER, and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS; in addition, there were 100
FRANKLIN'S GULLS, RING-BILLED GULLS, FORSTER'S TERNS, and an AMERICAN
PIPIT. 15 species of shorebirds were counted by Shelley Steva for a
total of 164 individuals at the Melo impoundment in western Polk County
on July 30. They included a surprising BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER. This
wetland will be drying up soon if the weather remains dry as most of the
birds were in shallow muddy pools. Nathaniel Emery also reported
shorebirds, this time at the Crookston wastewater treatment ponds on
August 2. A TUNDRA SWAN has been identified at the East Grand Forks
wastewater treatment ponds on August 4.

At home in Beltrami County, Pat Rice reported warblers at the birdbath-
YELLOW WARBLER, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, and AMERICAN REDSTART. Doug
Johnson visited the Big Bog boardwalk near Waskish on July 30. There he
found a CONNECTICUT WARBLER. He reports that the  bog walk is not fully
complete, and the road was quite rough yet. He also saw an AMERICAN
BITTERN along MN 72 two miles north of Kelliher.

>From Lake of the Woods County, Gretchen Mehmel reported a BLUE-HEADED
VIREO in the yard at Norris Camp on August 2.

Thanks to  Pat Rice, Shelley Steva, Doug Johnson, Charles Christianson,
and Nathaniel Emery for their reports.
