Fall seems to have truly arrived with reports of possible frost in the northern part of the state, and color is appearing in the forests. For a time migration seemed to have slowed, or the birds were blown right over the northwest. After the winds of the past few days have died down, it looks as if migration is now happening.
This morning I surprised a small flock of 15-20 NORTHERN FLICKERS along our road as I went to work in Thief River Falls, Pennington County.
Shelley Steva found 15 SANDHILL CRANES along Red Lake County road 1 five miles east of Plummer on September 7. On September 12, she watched a MERLIN chasing a flock of 10 CEDAR WAXWINGS in Oklee.
From East Grand Forks , Polk County, Sandy Aubol reported ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER on September 7, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER on September 9, and a WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW on September 12.
Thanks to Shelley Steva and Sandy Aubol for their reports.
