This is the Minnesota Birding Report for <B>Wednesday, April 25th
2007.</B>

A SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER was reported on the 23rd along Olmsted
County Road 31 between U.S. Highway 52 and County Road 3. Check the
fields on the east side of the road near the gray house at fire call
126-31, and also along Riverheights Court near here.

On the 23rd, Ron Erpelding found a WORM-EATING WARBLER in Camden State
Park, Lyon County southwest of Marshall. The bird was on the east side
of the park's main road and was first seen in the wooded area about 85
feet before the point where the road crosses the railroad tracks.

On April 22nd, Bruce Baer reported a PIPING PLOVER at the west end of
Lake Byllesby in Dakota County.

There was a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD at the south end of Murphy-Hanrehan
Park, on the Scott-Dakota County line on April 23rd. The bird was found
by Jim Egge about 50 yards north of the southern gate across from the
parking lot of Brackett's Crossing Golf Course. Another NORTHERN
MOCKINGBIRD was just east of Boone Avenue in New Hope, Hennepin County
on the 22nd, at 55th and Zealand Avenues near the Northridge Care
Center.

On the 22nd, Wayne Feder found a pair of LONG-TAILED DUCKS on Pilot
Grove Lake in Faribault County. This is on the west side of county road
9 at 60th Street.

Craig Mandel found a pair of GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES on the 20th in
Watonwan County. The birds were at the Rosendale WMA, about two miles
southeast of the town of St. James.

Listing every recently reported migrant here would be impractical, but a
few representative species are BROAD-WINGED HAWK, DUNLIN, WILSON'S
PHALAROPE, FORSTER'S TERNS, SORA, CHIMNEY SWIFT, BLUE-HEADED VIREO, BANK
SWALLOW, MARSH WREN, SWAINSON’S THRUSH, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER, HOODED
