This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday August 3rd.
The dark-backed gull, identified as a first state record SLATY-BACKED
GULL, is still being seen in the town of Grand Marais, Cook County, as
it has been each day since July 21st. It tends to loaf on the rocky
beach directly east of downtown and near the East Bay Motel, though it
has also been seen in the harbor and on the break wall.
The SNOWY PLOVER family is still present on the sand spits southeast of
the town of Odessa in Big Stone County. From the Big Stone National
Wildllife Refuge, park near the maintenance shed on the dike just west
of U.S. Highway 75 and walk west across the road past the old quarry and
grove of elm trees. At the end of the spit look north to the rocky
beaches on the opposite shore.
A NORTHERN HAWK OWL is apparently still present at mile marker 194 of
state highway 65, about three and a half miles north of Itasca County
Road 53.
And on August 2nd, a flock of 16 BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS was in the
second plowed field on the west side of Blaine Avenue south of Dakota
County Road 66.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, August 10th.
