This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 16th 2007.

A WHITE-WINGED DOVE has been visiting a feeder near Clearwater, Stearns
County for the past week. When I am able to make contact with the home
owner, I will post information on visitation schedules.

In Jackson County, a BLACK-HEADED GULL was seen by John Ellis on the
11th at the north end of Big Spirit Lake on the Minnesota - Iowa border.
This is at the grade along Jackson County Road 2. He also reported a
flock of 19 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES at Salt Lake in Lac Qui Parle County
on the 12th.

On the morning of August 15th, Bob Dunlap observed a LITTLE BLUE HERON
as it flew past him at Fisher Lake in Scott County. This is the large
wetland on the west side of the U.S. Highway 169 bridge across the
Minnesota River in Shakopee. There is a parking lot just west of 169 on
Scott County Road 101.

Warblers are moving southward across Minnesota, though the highest
totals and variety are still being reported in the northern parts of the
state. Sixteen species were observed by Peder Svingen at Southworth
Marsh on Park Point, Duluth, on the 13th, though most were birds that
also nest in the state. Fourteen species were found by Chet Meyers in
Minneapolis on the 15th.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, August 23rd 2007.
