This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 29th 2007.
A BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was found on the 26th at Kabekona Narrows on Leech
Lake in Cass County. Go north from Walker on state highway 371 for about
three miles and turn right after the bridge to access the boat launch
area where the bird was seen.
The GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE is still visiting the feeder in the town of
Mountain Lake, Cottonwood County and was seen as recently as the 25th.
>From state highway 60, exit onto 3rd Avenue and drive to 10th Street.
Turn north on 10th street and drive to the edge of town to a cemetery
and lake on the left. The feeder is in front of the pale green house,
which is the second to the last building on the right side of the road.
The three GRAY-CROWNED ROSY-FINCHES at the Fond du Lac Resource
Management Division office just west of Cloquet in Carlton County were
all seen as recently as the 22nd.
Terry Brashear found a GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL at Point Douglas,
Washington County on the 24th.
On the 25th, a SNOWY EGRET was reported by Connie Brunell on the
mudflats at the western end of Lake Byllesby in Dakota County. In this
same general area several shorebirds were reported, including AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER, and SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER.
In Scott County, a VARIED THRUSH was on the east side of Cleary Lake on
the 29th. Drive to the parking lot near the golf club house. Look for
the foot bridge across a creek. The bird was 50 yards down the paved
trail beyond the bridge.
Migrants reported this past week include GREAT EGRET, EASTERN PHOEBE,
BROWN THRASHER, SONG SPARROW, SWAMP SPARROW, EASTERN MEADOWLARK, and
BREWER'S BLACKBIRD.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, April 5th 2007.
