This has been a very quiet week in the northwest. There were few reports
and no unusual species were observed.

>From Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge in Marshall County, Greg Knutsen
reported that finally there is starting to be some shorebird habitat,
and a few shorebirds are now being seen. Most are GREATER YELLOWLEGS,
and LESSER YELLOWLEGS. Some habitat can be seen along the county road at
Parker Pool. Other interior pools that are showing some suitable habitat
include Mud River Pool, Madsen Pool, and Webster Pool.

Alma Ronningen reported from Otter Tail County that the OSPREYS near
Otter Tail have two chicks this year. Five PINE SISKINS are being seen
in her yard in Otter Tail. Three TRUMPETER SWANS can be observed in the
area.

Thanks to Alma Ronningen and Greg Knutsen for their reports.
