This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, April 27th.

A WHITE-FACED IBIS was seen on the 22nd on U. S. Highway 75 three =20
miles south of Bellingham in Lac Qui Parle County and the following =20
day it had moved a mile to the northwest. Another was at Carlos Avery =20=

National Wildlife Refuge in Anoka County on the same day, but it has =20
not been seen since it was discovered there by Joan McKearnan. This =20
bird was at Pool Number 4. Bill Marengo reported at least three =20
YELLOW RAILS here on the 23rd.

A SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER was seen by George Skinner in Lac Qui =20
Parle County on the 23rd. It was on the south side of U.S. Highway =20
212, four and a half miles west of U. S. Highway 75.

On the 25th, Terry Brashear reported a MISSISSIPPI KITE in =20
Chanhassen, Carver County. It was heading in a southeast direction =20
towards the Eden Prairie Mall.

On the 22nd, Bob Dunlap found a CATTLE EGRET at the Nicollet sewage =20
ponds in Nicollet County. To get there, go west on U.S. Highway 14 =20
past the town of Nicollet. Take the first right after the =20
Conservation Club and drive to a parking area by the stream.

There is apparently a SNOWY EGRET in the freeway holding ponds in the =20=

SE corner of U.S. Highway 169 and Scott County Road 18 in Shakopee. =20
The best place to look for the bird is from the nearby Sam=92s Club =20
parking lot.

Ken Vail visited Spindler Pond in Steele County on the 27th and found =20=

nine AMERICAN AVOCETS. The pond is three-quarters of a mile west of =20
the Rice Lake State Park entrance.

Cheri Steinmueller was at Rothsay WMA in Wilkin County on the 22nd =20
and reported a SHORT-EARED OWL hunting the fields just southwest of =20
the intersection of Wilkin County Roads 165 and 30.

Also of note were the arrivals of AMERICAN BITTERN, GREEN HERON, =20
WILLET, COMMON TERN, CHIMNEY SWIFT, PURPLE MARTIN, HOUSE WREN, =20
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH, EASTERN TOWHEE, LARK SPARROW, HENSLOW=92S =20
SPARROW, CLAY-COLORED SPARROW, and SMITH=92S LONGSPUR.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, May 4th.
