This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, July 22,
2005sponsored 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 was a very hot early in the week, but has cooled off to more seasonal
summer temperatures due to several heavy storms which dumped a lot of
rain on the area. For those looking for shorebirds, there is little or
any good habitat in the northern part of the region, and few shorebirds
are being seen here. Many of the traditional wetlands are too wet, and
the flooded fields are drying up or have little to offer in the way of
food for the birds.

>From Otter Tail County this week, Dave Sorgen reported a TENNESSEE
WARBLER in the yard on July 15th. Either this is one that nested
somewhat south of its traditional range or is a returning bird.

Mark Otnes saw a WILLET fly over near the headquarters of Hamden Slough
NWR in Becker County on July 15. Sally Hausken is seeing GRAY CATBIRDS
and AMERICAN REDSTARTS in her yard eating juneberries.

In Polk County, Dave Lambeth reported that he counted over 150 nests of
EARED GREBES at the East Grand Forks wastewater treatment ponds on July
19. Also at that location was a swan of undetermined species. Nearby, a
pair of BALD EAGLES are raising young. In Crookston, Mike Christopherson
reports that the MERLINS that were battling over a crow nest in his yard
in the spring have returned to the yard.

Pat Rice observed eight BONAPARTE'S GULLS in Bemidji, Beltrami County,
on July 16. Pat DeWenter visited the Big Bog area with some friends on
July 17 where they observed eleven species of warblers including
GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLER, BLACK-AND- WHITE WARBLER, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER
and MOURNING WARBLER. Other species seen in Beltrami County were
AMERICAN WOODCOCK, VEERY, LE CONTE'S SPARROW, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW,
and EVENING GROSBEAK.

Thanks to Dave Sorgen, Dave Lambeth, Pat Rice, Mark Otnes, Mike
Christopherson, Sally Hausken, and Pat DeWenter for their reports.
