This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 15th 2007.

The potential first state record INCA DOVE is still being seen in Two
Harbors, Lake County, as it has been since it was first discovered on
October 30th. The bird spends much of its time in the backyard of the
house at the southeastern corner of 3rd Street and 2nd Avenue, but it
has also been seen in most of the block's backyards west of here. From
state highway 61 in downtown Two Harbors, turn toward the Lake on 5th
street. Drive to 2nd Avenue and turn left. The house is at the corner of
this avenue and 3rd Street.

On November 10th, Ben Yokel found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL in St. Louis
County along the Melrude Road, just east of U.S. Highway 53 and about
six miles north of the town of Cotton. A SNOWY OWL was seen by Larry
Wilebski on the 10th, one mile west and one mile north of Orleans in
Kittson County.

Dean Riemer found a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE in Moorhead, Clay County on the
13th. This was about one block north of the intersection of South Elm
and South River Road. Chuck Krulas found another one on the 10th just
north of Elysian in Le Sueur County in a small gravel pit on the east
side of state highway 13 about a tenth of a mile south of Lake Francis
Road.

Tom Bloom had a rather late SWAINSON'S THRUSH at his home in Apple
Valley, Dakota County, on the 12th.

And John Ellis reported a couple of SMITH'S LONGSPURS on the 10th, along
200th Street between 280th and 300th Avenues at Rothsay, Wilkin County.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, November 22nd 2007.
