This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 7th 2007.

Bob Janssen found a TRICOLORED HERON on June 5th Black Rush Marsh in
Lyon County. The marsh is east of state highway 23 along Lyon County
Road 59. Take County Road 59 one mile to the east to a minimum
maintenance road running south through the marsh. The heron was about a
quarter of a mile down this road.

On June 1st, Chet Meyers reported a BURROWING OWL in Polk County. From
Crookston drive east on Highway 2 for about nine miles. Turn right on
County Road 44 for another two miles. Turn left on a dirt road and drive
a mile and a half. Park and walk another three-quarters of a mile then
look to the left for a large field. The bird was just east of here in
the dead vegetation.

The PRAIRIE WARBLER is still being seen at Ritter Farm Park in Dakota
County. From the main parking lot walk northwest and follow the signs to
the orange trail. After a couple hundred yards where the trail forks,
take the horse trail up the hill to a row of conifers on the right. The
bird was singing from the large deciduous trees on the left.

I have a second hand report of a male LARK BUNTING seen in Steele County
on the 3rd. It was reported as a flyby along I-35 a few miles north of
Owatonna, near the town of Medford.

A GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE was found on the 5th by Kim Eckert at Swim
Lake in Douglas County, and the following day he reported a rather late
RED-NECKED PHALAROPE at the Graceville sewage ponds in Big Stone County.

And a KENTUCKY WARBLER was found at Carlos Avery Refuge in Anoka County
on May 31st. It was seen by Peter Getman along Pool 10 Road about 25
yards north of the Headquarters Road.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, June 14th 2007.
