This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, August 19,
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.

The fall birding season is certainly here as evidenced by the number of
reports about species flocking together, and  migrants starting to show
up again on their way south. The dry weather has also caused a hint of
fall color to appear in the trees. Rains this week, very heavy in some
places are going to change the landscape for birding, and birders need
to be aware that in a few places, roads were washed out  by the recent
rains.

>From Otter Tail County, Alma Ronningen reported that a NORTHERN CARDINAL
visited their yard one day, and a family of EASTERN BLUEBIRDS, surely
the last of the season, are about to fledge.

Mel and Elaine Bennefeld saw a GOLDEN EAGLE at the Ponderosa Golf Club
in Clay County on August 15. Many CEDAR WAXWINGS  were also there. Bob
O'Connor visited Gooseberry Park in Moorhead on August 16, where he
found a few warblers: YELLOW WARBLER, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, AMERICAN
REDSTART, and CANADA WARBLER. GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER, RED-EYED VIREO,
and about fifty CHIPPING SPARROWS were also in evidence.

Kelly Larson found five TRUMPETER SWANS in Hubbard County on August 16.
At Skunk Lake, she found several BALD EAGLES, four COMMON LOONS, several
GREAT BLUE HERONS, and BLACK TERNS.

In Beltrami County, Kelly reported hundreds of migrating COMMON
NIGHTHAWKS along MN 71 and MN 200 on the 17th. In Bemidji, Pat Rice had
an OVENBIRD in the yard on August 15. Pat DeWenter reported a wave of
migrating warblers on August 18 including GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER,
NASHVILLE WARBLER, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, and
CANADA WARBLER. She also saw BROWN CREEPER, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, and
BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO. At the nectar were twelve RUBY-THROATED
HUMMINGBIRDS.

Mary Broten reported a TURKEY VULTURE near Shevlin in Clearwater County
on August 11.

Polk County sightings by Mary included a BALD EAGLE. Bruce Flaig
reported large numbers of WOOD DUCKS about three miles south of the
intersection of CR 41 and CR12. Both TENNESSEE WARBLER, and NASHVILLE
WARBLER have been spotted recently in the county. Nathaniel Emery
reported a flock of migrating COMMON NIGHTHAWKS in Crookston on August
17. Donna and Leon Thoreson had a COOPER'S HAWK and a BLACK-BILLED
MAGPIE in the yard in addition to the usual residents.=20

Here in Pennington County, on August 16, I saw a flock of about ten
migrating COMMON NIGHTHAWKS, and on the 18th, I saw a similar flock, so
they are definitely on the move. A COOPER'S HAWK flew over our house  on
the 16th also.

In Marshall County, Mary Broten reported seeing BALTIMORE ORIOLES in the
yard. From Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge, Gary Tischer reported that
GREAT EGRETS are increasing in numbers. Two immature ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS
have been seen in the refuge this week, and some COMMON GOLDENEYE have
appeared in headquarters pool. A COOPER'S HAWK was seen at Pool 21
recently. A few warblers have migrated into the refuge in the last few
days.

Beth Siverhus in Roseau County reported that there have been
considerable numbers of SHORT-EARED OWLS seen in the county lately. On
one evening there were 17 sighted, and ten were seen along 440th Ave NE
on one night. A GREAT GRAY OWL was reported northeast of Roseau near the
Canadian border.

Many thanks to those of you who sent in reports this week including Beth
Siverhus, Donna and Leon Thoreson, Alma Ronningen, Kelly Larson,

Broten, Bruce Flaig, Pat DeWenter, and Gary Tischer.
