This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, April 6th.
Jay Hamernick had a GYRFALCON fly overhead on the 3rd in Roseville,
Ramsey County at the junction of Larpenter and Lexington Avenues.
On the 4th, Ben Fritchman found a SNOWY OWL in southern Wilkin
County. It was a quarter of a mile south of 440th Street on U.S.
Highway 75.
In Traverse County, Karl Bardon counted 18,645 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED
GEESE, 15,700 SNOW GEESE, and 638 ROSS'S GEESE between April 2nd and
3rd.
On April 2nd, Dedrick Benz reported a CAROLINA WREN and two TUFTED
TITMICE on the trails that run behind Holzinger Lodge and Woodlawn
Cemetery in Winona, Winona County. From U.S. Highway 61 turn south
at Huff Street, then take a right at Lake Blvd. Park at Holzinger
Lodge and follow the upper trail to the lef until it makes a sharp
downward turn to the left. At this point, a second trail goes off up
into the bluffs and the birds were at this junction.
Interesting was the BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE reported by DNR personnel
over the weekend, about 100 yards north of the intersection of state
highway 55 and Hennepin County Road 116, west of Plymouth. This is
the first record in Hennepin County since 1974.
Both GREATER YELLOWLEGS and LESSER YELLOWLEGS have been reported from
Lake Byllesby in Dakota County. I also have recent reports of RED-
NECKED GREBE, BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON, OSPREY, VIRGINIA RAIL,
WILSON'S SNIPE, AMERICAN WOODCOCK, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER,
LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, CHIPPING SPARROW, SONG SPARROW, FIELD SPARROW, and
YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, April 13th.
