This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, September 1st.

A possible WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKER in immature plumage was reported  
from Maplewood State Park in Otter Tail County on the 27th, but word  
of this sighting did not reach me until today. I have no specific  
location within the park, and if any additional news of this bird  
should be forthcoming, this report will be updated immediately.

On the 30th, an immature LARK BUNTING was seen by Carol and Jim  
Tveekrem along state highway 61 at the Minnesota Department of  
Transportation gravel pit in Schroeder, Cook County. When found, the  
bird was feeding in the weeds at the west edge of the clearing.

I have a secondhand report of a possible NEOTROPIC CORMORANT at a  
home near Big Cormorant Lake in Becker County. You can call Steve  
Stromstad at 218-439-6588 for further information.

A probable hybrid Ross's Goose was found by Jim Mattsson in late  
August on Sand Point across the Mississippi River from the boat  
landing in Hastings, Dakota County.

A CAROLINA WREN has been visiting a home in Beltrami County since  
August 22nd. Birders are welcome to visit and can call Pat at  
218-751-0137. Another Carolina Wren was at Bob Janssen's feeder in  
Chanhassen, Carver County, on the 29th, but the bird was present for  
only a few minutes.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, September 8th.
