This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 16th.
A male PRAIRIE WARBLER is patroling a territory at Ritter Farm Park
in Lakeville, Dakota County. Jim Mattsson first found it on June 6th
and it is still present and vocalizing in the area. Take I-35W to the
185th Street exit. Take the service road south along the east side of
the interstate for about a mile and then turn west. Take a right at
the sign for Ritter Park and continue for half mile to the main
parking lot. Walk from the parking lot along the main trail north to
Shelter #4. Continue on, staying to the right at the trail fork.
After a few hundred yards the trail parallels the north boundary
fence. Look for a small white sign that reads "Grant-in-Aid Trail".
This is the northeastern edge of warbler's territory.
The ROCK WREN and the two SAY'S PHOEBES are still being seen at
Felton Prairie. From Felton, go south on state highway 9, then east
to the end of pavement on Clay County Road 108, turn left to the
gravel pit entrance. Look for the phoebes around the north and east
rim of the pit. The wren can still be found near rock pile #6002.
On the 10th, Julian Sellers found a LITTLE BLUE HERON in a small
flooded field beside Wilkin County Road 30, about 200 yards west of
I-94 and about five miles north of the town of Rothsay. And Roger
Schroeder found a SNOWY EGRET in the city of Marshall, Lyon County,
on the evening of June 8th, at the pond south of the Fire Station on
Saratoga Street.
On the 15th, Bill Tefft found a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD near the road
that circles the ballfields at Vermilion Community College in Ely,
St. Louis County.
A HOODED WARBLER was seen on the 15th by Paul Gempler in the Schulz
Lake area of Lebanon Hills Regional Park in Dakota County. The
location was immediately south of Schulz Lake, near Trail Marker
E8.5. Another Hooded Warbler was found by Al Schirmacher on the 11th
on the Blue Hill Trail, of Sherburne NWR in Sherburne County.
A male SUMMER TANAGER was seen by Jay Hamernick at Lake Vadnais,
Ramsey County on the 9th. It was in the pines south of the lake
across from the Lake Vadnais church on Twin Lakes Boulevard.
Interesting was the June 13th observation of a first-year BLUE
GROSBEAK in a field just southwest of the town of Vermillion in
Dakota County. The bird was photographed along county road 66 just
over a tenth of a mile west of where Fisher Avenue intersects 200th St.
A GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE was seen by Denny Martin on the 12th in a
marsh across from Split Rock Creek State Park in Pipestone County.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, June 23rd.
