This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday September 28th 2006.
A juvenile PURPLE SANDPIPER was found by Ben Wieland on the 27th along
the south shore of Lake Winnibigoshish in Cass County. The location was
about a hundred yards west of Denny's Resort, which is just east of the
gas station in the town of Bena. Check the beach and sandbars between
Denny's and the NoDak Resort to the west. This is a potential fifth
state record -- the first since 1991 -- a first Cass County record, and
a record-early date by more than a month.
As many as sixteen jaegers were reported over Lake Superior in Duluth
last weekend. Most of these were PARASITIC JAEGERS but there were also
two POMARINE JAEGERS and a report of a LONG-TAILED JAEGER as well. Most
of these were seen from the end of Park Point but also from the 31st
Street access. Four SABINE'S GULLS, several LITTLE GULLS, two ARCTIC
TERNS, and a RED-THROATED LOON were also seen from the 31st Street
access between the 21st and the 26th.
On the 26th, Bill Unzen reported two SABINE'S GULLS at two different
locations in Lac Qui Parle County. The first was an adult at the Big
Stone NWR main east pool. The second was a juvenile seen flying over Lac
Qui Parle State Park on five occasions at various locations as it
associated with large numbers of FRANKLIN'S GULLS.
LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL, THAYER'S GULL, and several COMMON LOONS are
being seen at Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Hennepin County. I also have
other reports of ROSS'S GOOSE, WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, and SURF SCOTER.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, October 5th 2006.
