This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, June 17, 2005
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.

Finally, it seems like summer, and for the moment the rain has stopped.
The result of warm temperatures and lots of rain has resulted in many
mosquitoes, so come prepared when birding in the northwest.

In Wilkin County, Julian Sellers and the St. Paul Audubon Society group
found a LITTLE BLUE HERON along CR 30 about 200 yards east of I- 94 on
June 10. This location is about five miles north of the town of Rothsay.

As of June 14, the BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK is still being seen at the home
of Steve and Mary Broten in Marshall County south of Newfolden.
Directions are to go nearly 12 miles north on US 59 from the
intersection of MN 1 and US 59N in Thief River Falls, then 1/8 mile west
on 280th St NW, then south down their driveway. Please call before you
visit. Their home number is 218-874-2080.

>From Lake of the Woods County, Jenny Moorman reported that biologist
Bill Berg spotted some PIPING PLOVERS nesting on the Pine Island
Sanctuary in Lake of the Woods. This is exciting news. Other species
reported by Jenny included SPRUCE GROUSE, MARBLED GODWIT near Graceton,
and TURKEY VULTURE.

Julian Sellers and other members of the St. Paul Audubon Society were in
Roseau County last weekend where they found BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER,
HERMIT THRUSH, and RED CROSSBILLS along the Thompson Forest Road in the
Beltrami Island State Forest.

In Beltrami County they found singing NORTHERN PARULAS, and BLACKBURNIAN
WARBLERS at the Big Bog SRA.

At Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge In Marshall County, Gary Tischer
reported on June 9th that the TRUMPETER SWANS now have two cygnets in
Pool 8. Other species reported from there included LEAST BITTERN, BALD
EAGLE with young at Parker Pool, a YELLOW RAIL heard near the parking
lot at the Maakstad trail, VIRGINIA RAIL, a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO along CR
7, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, and PURPLE FINCH.

Here in Pennington County, I saw a RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER feeding a
young woodpecker near our bird feeder, so I assume that it nested nearby
,  if not on the property.

Shelley Steva reported three or four YELLOW RAILS , two SORAS, and LE
CONTE'S SPARROWS at Malmberg Prairie SNA in Polk County on June 11.
Nathaniel Emery reported YELLOW RAIL, nesting WILSON'S PHALAROPES,  LE
CONTE'S SPARROWS, NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROWS, and DICKCISSELS at
Glacial Ridge NWR. Julian Sellers and his group found GREATER
PRAIRIE-CHICKENS and UPLAND SANDPIPERS at the Tympanuchus Prairie. I was
at the Gully Fen SNA on Sunday, June 12 where I saw four TURKEY VULTURES
riding a thermal, and found VEERY, NASHVILLE WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED
WARBLER, and WHITE-THROATED SPARROW singing on territory.

Connie Norheim, birding in Becker County, found RUFFED GROUSE,
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER along CR 29 near the visitor center, and
PINE WARBLERS at the picnic area at Tamarac NWR on June 9.

Julian Sellers found a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO at Glendalough State Park in
Otter Tail County on the weekend.

Thanks to Gary Tischer, Mary Broten, Shelley Steva, Connie Norheim,
Nathaniel Emery, Jenny Moorman,  and Julian Sellers for their reports.
