This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 9th.
On the 25th, Dan Deutsch reported a GYRFALCON near Hastings at the
junction of Dakota County Roads 47 and 46, and on the 5th Jim
Mattsson found it perched on power pole near mile marker 216 of state
highway 55. It flew north to Inga Avenue and 132nd Street. A SHORT-
EARED OWL was seen near here on the 4th.
On March 8th Kim Gordon and Val Cunningham found as many as seven
SHORT-EARED OWLS in Fillmore County. To reach this location from U.S.
Highway 63, go two miles west on Fillmore County Road 26, then about
three-quarters of a mile south and look for a group of small
coniferous trees on the east side of the road with a parking lot.
On March 4, Jim Otto and Doug Kieser found a THREE-TOED WOODPECKER on
Koochiching County Road 13, 1.3 miles south of county road 77. They
also found a GREAT GRAY OWL on county road 30, six miles west of Big
Falls.
Also on the 4th, Sandy Kuder found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL, just south of
highway 232 on Aitkin County Road 5.
On the 9th, Chad Heins and Bob Dunlap found four EURASIAN COLLARED-
DOVES in the town of Hanska in Brown County. They were found near the
feed mill on the southeast side of town.
On the 3rd, Jim Pomplun found a CAROLINA WREN singing from the bluff
trail at the Old Cedar Bridge in Bloomington. This was at the third
bridge west from the parking lot.
I also have recent spring reports of ROSS'S GOOSE, GREAT BLUE HERON,
RING-BILLED GULL, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD, and EASTERN
MEADOWLARK.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, March 16th.
