This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 10th.
On November 5th, Tom Auer and Mike Hendrickson reported a second-
winter CALIFORNIA GULL on the Minnesota breakwall at the Superior
entry of Park Point in Duluth. I have no word on more recent
observations.
Between November 7th and 9th, Jim Mattsson found DUNLIN, BLACK-
BELLIED PLOVER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER, and LESSER YELLOWLEGS at the west
end of Lake Byllesby in Dakota County. Brian Smith found a Dunlin at
the Sleepy Eye sewage ponds in Brown County on the 5th.
On the 7th, Deb Falkowski reported a CATTLE EGRET at the Beaver Bay
sewage ponds, along Lake County Road 4 about three-quarters of a mile
inland from highway 61. Other reports of Cattle Egrets include one
seen on the 4th off the Korkki Road in St. Louis County, another in
Knife River, St. Louis County on the 5th, and two in Stearns County
on the 7th along highway 71 about seven miles south of Sauk Center.
A PACIFIC LOON was still at Burlington Bay in Two Harbors, Lake
County, on the 5th, and the previously reported ROSS'S GOOSE at
Spring Lake Park in Mankato was relocated by Mike Sitter and Scot
Meyer on the same day.
On November 8th, a SNOWY OWL was along the 3600 block of 7th Street
NW in Rochester, Olmsted County. It has since then been reported in
the vicinity of the Home Depot.
On the 7th, Julian Sellers found a CAROLINA WREN at Courthouse Park,
Waseca County. It was along the sand bank of the LeSueur River in
the southwestern part of the park. Leslie Kottke still has a Carolina
Wren visiting her home in St. Paul.
Bill Tefft found a female MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD on the 7th on the fence
line near the airport entrance in Tower, St. Louis County.
I have a secondhand report of a VARIED THRUSH near Crane Lake, St.
Louis County, but no details.
On the 5th, Fran Howard found a very late BLACK-THROATED GREEN-
WARBLER at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. This is the latest date on
record for this species. Nearby, a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL has been
seen in the late afternoons on the west side of Lake Calhoun.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, November 17th.
