This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, October 20th.
Several interesting birds turned up over the past week, but only a
few stayed around for more than a few minutes. On October 14th, a
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER was reported at the 500 block of 12th
Street North in Virginia, St. Louis County. It was not seen after the
initial sighting.
A COMMON GROUND-DOVE was seen briefly in downtown Two Harbors, Lake
County, on the 16th, but could not be relocated. Jim Lind found it at
at the far west end of 1st Avenue near an abandoned brick building at
a blocked gate to the railroad yards.
A ROCK WREN was at the Taconite Harbor boat launch in Cook County on
the 17th. Deb and Steve Falkowski found it at the base of the boulder
breakwall on the west side of the boat launch and Jim Lind relocated
it here on the 18th.
The first-fall Plegadis ibis that Peder Svingen found last week in
Big Stone County was seen by Phil Chu on the 15th. This is in
Ortonville Township on the north side of county road 64 about one and
three-quarter miles west of county road 67.
And on the 17th, a hunter reported to DNR officials that he had shot
a BLACK-BELLIED WHISTLING-DUCK near Donnelly in Stevens County.
The CAROLINA WREN is still being seen at Leslie Kottke's feeder in
St. Paul, Ramsey County, and Warren Woessner reports that the bird at
Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield Hennepin County was also still
present.
On the 15th, Bill Stauffer and Warren Nelson found a LONG-TAILED DUCK
on Aitkin County Road 18. The bird was in a small pond on the north
side of the road about three-quarters of a mile west of the junction
with County Road 5.
NORTHERN SHRIKES, HORNED LARKS, BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, LAPLAND LONGSPURS,
and SNOW BUNTINGS have also been moving through the state. A BLACK-
BACKED WOODPECKER was spotted at Hawk Ridge in Duluth on the 20th.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, October 27th.
