The last large hurricane that hit Texas a few years ago Minnesota =
birders found 2-3 frigate species in the Twin Cities area and central =
Mn. Katrina as you know is a category 3 hurricane and its sweeping thru =
New Orleans and heading north. =20
Mn Birders should or if they want, should note the movement of the =
hurricane as it tracks north. Keep an eye on states like Illinois and =
Missouri to see if they are finding Sooty Terns or Frigate bird and =
other coastal birds or oceanic bird species. Usually lakes and rivers =
are the best spots to find these species but Mn has 10,000+ lakes but =
places like Black Dog or birding spots along the Miss. River or St. =
Croix Rivers should be good spots as well as large sewage ponds. =
Tennessee birders have luck along the rivers and dams to find strays =
after a hurricane moves thru.
I will be birding Lake Superior and looking for hurricane strays =
starting around Wed-Sun. Hopefully with luck some odd stray will appear =
for me.
Good birding
