I was scanning the lake at the Lafayette Square viewing platform from =
12-2:30pm and relocated some of the great birds that were reported this =
week. Kim Eckert was with me for half that time and is still down there =
with Jim Mattson and Doug Kieser.
2 Parasitic Jaegers interacting with each other and chasing a =
Ring-billed Gull.
1 Pomarine Jaeger same bird reported in the last 2 weeks.
3 unidentified jaegers
1 Immature Little Gull
Other Birds:
- Merlin (Richardson's race)
-Longspurs
-pipits
-flocks of Green-winged Teal flying by.
-steady stream of raptors flying over us.
*Lots going on this weekend! Lots of eyes and hopefully a first state =
record will be found!
*Also as Peder Svingen noted there are a lot of Bonaparte's Gulls on =
Lake Superior, hopefully someone soon will report some Sabine Gulls. So =
far only two reports in Minnesota. So were over due for some Sabine's =
Gulls. Were also due for a Red Phalarope!=20
