This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Saturday November 25th 2006.
Both a first-winter GLAUCOUS GULL and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL can bee
seen on Bailey's Lake in downtown Virginia near Silver Lake in St. Louis
County. An adult THAYER'S GULL and a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL are being
seen on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.
On the 24th, Kim Eckert found a late CATTLE EGRET in Winona, Winona
County. The bird was at the east end of Lake Winona standing on shore
near the small wooden fishing pier.
Two SNOWY OWLS were found on the 19th by Kevin Breault southeast of
Sargeant in Mower County. They were along 650th Avenue near 240th
Street.
Jason Caddy relocated the two female HARLEQUIN DUCKS on the 17th on the
south side of the breakwall at Canal Park in Duluth. Bruce Munson found
an AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER on the 19th near the beachhouse at
Duluth's Park Point recreation area.
An AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKER was in Two Harbors, Lake County, on
the 19th along the snowmobile trail south of the Holiday gas station. Up
the shore, a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER was at the Split Rock Lighthouse
State Park visitors' center on the 17th.
About 800 SANDHILL CRANES were reported on the 20th at Carlos Avery
Refuge in Anoka County, and 23 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS were counted there on
the same day. Two TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE were reported from here as well,
but at no specific location.
On the 17th, Al Schirmacher reported a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE at Ann Lake
in Sherburne County. Presumably this bird was seen at the campground.
A SUMMER TANAGER is coming to a feeder southwest of Rochester in Olmsted
County. The home is located in a development west of the Willow Creek
Golf Course along 48th Street Southwest. Go south on U.S. Highway 63 to
the 48th Street exit. Go west and turn left on Scenic View Drive. Turn
left onto Teak Wood Lane and look for the vacant lot on the left. Park
near the group of mailboxes. The bird can be seen coming to the feeders
behind the house just after the vacant lot.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, November 30th 2006.
