This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 28th 2008.

A SWALLOW-TAILED KITE has been observed just east of Madelia in
Wantonwon County since August 22nd and it was still present today. All
observations have been within a quarter-mile stretch of state highway
60/15 between the exits for highways 15 and 3. The best place to see the
bird is near the BP gas station at the southbound entrance to highway 60
from county road 3. This would be the state's 18th record of
Swallow-tailed Kite since 1900 but the fourth since 2000. With an
increase in records in recent years, this species's status in Minnesota
has changed from Accidental to Casual.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, September 4th 2008.
