7/1 - 7/4, 2005
Spent some time birding with a group in Koochiching and Itasca Counties over
the 4th of July weekend. We encountered 127 species of birds, including
some of the first migrants of the fall season. Note that we were unsuccessful
in relocating the American Three-toed Woodpecker previously reported along CR
13 in Koochiching County. Here are a few of the highlights from the trip.
@ Common Goldeneye - Several females with broods of young on Island Lake in
Itasca
county.
@ American Bittern - Many seen in flight around the SW corner of Koochiching
county.
@ Solitary Sandpiper - One observed at the Big Falls Sewage Ponds.
@ Least Sandpiper - Four observed at the Big Falls Sewage Ponds.

counties.
@ Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow - Heard only along CR 128, 1 mile N of Hwy.
2 in Itasca
Cnty.

State Park.
