This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 28th.
The BROWN PELICAN has been present throughout the week in southern
Jackson County at Little Spirit Lake just north of the Iowa border
and southwest of the town of Jackson. The bird had been present at
the north end of Spirit Lake in Iowa just south of Jackson County
Road 2 since July 14th, but seems to be more reliable at the Little
Spirit Lake location. The best place to view the pelican is from the
boat launch at the north end of Little Spirit Lake. At the dock, look
southward to where the bird has often roosted just off the peninsula.
Also of note is the BLACK-HEADED GULL that has been seen at both
locations.
At least one CLARK'S GREBE was still at Lake Osakis in Todd County on
the 21st.
Shorebirds have been reported in small numbers from Walker in Cass
County and the Crane Creek area near New Germany in Carver County.
Species include SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, LEAST
SANDPIPER, BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER,
and STILT SANDPIPER.
Two EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES were in the town of Otter Tail in Otter
Tail County on the 24th. Jeff Schultz reports them at the feeders in
the vicinity of Lake Boulevard.
Kiki Sonnen found a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD on the 26th, along the
Mississippi River Boulevard at the bridge between Huron and Dartmouth
streets in southeast Minneapolis.
And in Cook County, Mike Steffes found four BLACK-THROATED BLUE
WARBLERS on Moose Mountain on the 28th.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, August 4th.
