This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, May 5th.

Up to four WHITE-FACED IBIS were reported from the marsh behind the  
Hills sewage ponds in Rock County by Bob Dunlap on May 1st. This is  
the same location where a single ibis was reported on April 20th.  
Several GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES are also being seen in this area.

Shelley Steva found two SHORT-EARED OWLS  in Polk County on the 4th.  
They were along Polk County Road 252 about three miles from U.S.  
Highway 75 near 260th Avenue.

A WESTERN TANAGER has been visiting a feeder in Newport, Washington  
County for the past several days. The location is 2190 - 8th Avenue,  
which is east of U.S. Highway 61. While birders are welcome to visit,  
this is a private residence in a quiet neighborhood and the usual  
courtesies are appropriate here.

On the 5th, Dedrick Benz reported a PIPING PLOVER from Winona  
County.  From the town of Winona, take U.S. Highway 61 south for one  
mile, to Mud Lake on the left. The Piping Plover is in the company of  
several SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS.

A variety of shorebirds has been reported from Lake Byllesby in  
Dakota County over the past week. Species found there include  
SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, AMERICAN AVOCET, LESSER YELLOWLEGS, PECTORAL  
SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, LEAST SANDPIPER, BAIRD'S  
SANDPIPER, WILLET, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER,  
DUNLIN, HUDSONIAN GODWIT, MARBLED GODWIT, and WILSON'S PHALAROPE.

Other recent arrivals include AMERICAN BITTERN, GREEN HERON, OLIVE- 
SIDED FLYCATCHER, WARBLING VIREO, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, SEDGE WREN,  
SWAINSON'S THRUSH, PALM WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER, TENNESSEE WARBLER,  
NASHVILLE WARBLER, OVENBIRD, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, HARRIS'S SPARROW,  
WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, BOBOLINK, and BALTIMORE ORIOLE.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, May 12th.
