This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday May 3rd 2007.

A GLOSSY IBIS, along with at least 22 WHITE-FACED IBIS, was in Lac Qui
Parle County on the 29th. They were initially found southwest of the
town of Madison near the junction of Lac Qui Parle County Road 14 and
221st Street. Throughout the day, they worked their way southward, but
by the next morning they were back at their original location.
Directions from Madison are to go south for two miles on U.S. Highway 75
to county road 14, then six-tenths of a mile west.

A SNOWY EGRET was found by Jim Otto at the western end of Lake Byllesby
in Dakota County on April 29th.

On April 28th, a CAROLINA WREN was reported north of Black Dog Road in
Dakota County, about 80 yards west of the western outlet to Black Dog
Lake.

A male MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD was near the Bluestem Prairie in Clay County on
the 28th. It was seen near the junction of 50th Avenue and 165th Street.

On May 3rd, Jim Mattsson found a male SUMMER TANAGER at Spring Lake
Regional Park, near Hastings in Dakota County. It was about 30 yards
into the woods north-northeast of the parking lot that is located on
Fahey Avenue, just north of Pind Bend Trail. A WESTERN TANAGER can be
seen in Freeborn County. Take I-35 south to the Clark's Grove exit, take
county road 31 west, then north, then west again, then check the farm
yard just to the north of here, at fire call 73694.

A SPOTTED TOWHEE has been visiting the Richardson Nature Center in
Bloomington, Hennepin County, for more than a week. This is along East
Bush Lake Road just south of I-494.

past weekend, and 131 species were recorded. Among them were
