This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, July 1,
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 is very wet in the northwest this summer, and reports of rails and
other wet meadow dwellers are greatly increased. Everything is lush and
green, except for some of the crops which are tending towards the yellow
hues.

Breeding Bird Surveys in Roseau, Kittson, and Marshall counties revealed
that there are YELLOW RAILS in greater numbers than usual in all three
counties. If you want to hear one, this is the summer to do it, as they
have been calling even as late as 9:30 A.M. One was heard on the Grygla
BBS, and no fewer than 14 were heard on the Greenbush BBS at 10 stops.

Two MERLINS were seen on the Grygla BBS on Saturday, May 25. In addition
SCARLET TANAGER and EASTERN TOWHEE  were also tallied. From Agassiz NWR,
Ben Fritchman and Gary Huschle  reported that the TRUMPETER SWANS that
nested in Pool 8 have just two cygnets this year, but it has been a good
year for the BALD EAGLES where several nests have young in them. Ben
reported finding shorebirds in a flooded field just east of the refuge
where he saw 9 species on June 28 : SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, KILLDEER,
GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS,  MARBLED GODWIT, LEAST SANDPIPER,
WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, DUNLIN, and WILSON'S SNIPE. A SHORT-EARED OWL
was again seen near the intersection of CR 7 and CR 12 this week, and
WHIP-POOR-WILLS  were heard near Parker Pool along the county road. Two
AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS have spent the summer at Agassiz NWR, and a
VIRGINIA RAIL family was observed crossing the road this week. Numbers
of BLACK TERNS at Agassiz NWR are much increased over last year's count,
and two more smaller colonies of FRANKLIN'S GULLS have been discovered
at the refuge.

Shelley Steva reported seeing a COOPER'S HAWK carrying food in its
talons in Thief River Falls on June 25. We have baby RED-BELLIED
WOODPECKERS, and DOWNY WOODPECKERS at the feeder this week.

>From Polk County, Nathaniel Emery reported relocating the HENSLOW'S
SPARROW on the prairie east of MN 32 and south of US 2. Shelley Steva
found two families of COMMON LOON in Polk County on June 26. One was 3
miles south of the junction of US 2 and US 59, and one was north or
Winger along US 59. A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was seen three miles north
of the junction of US 2 and US 59.

Shelley also saw a MERLIN at the Perkins in Detroit Lakes in Becker
County on June 27.

Chet Myers found the ROCK WREN at Felton Prairie on June 26.  Chet also
reported WESTERN KINGBIRD, LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, and CHESTNUT-COLLARED
LONGSPUR there. At least one SAY'S PHOEBE was present at the more
northerly gravel pit on June 26.

Thanks to Shelley Steva, Chet Myers, Ben Fritchman, Gary Huschle, and
Nathaniel Emery for their reports.
