This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 13,2013 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888. Birds are settling down to the business at hand this week, and people are out enjoying the sun for nearly the first time this year. Reports are way down as the migrants have mostly moved through. Here in Pennington County, I was surprised by a late HARRIS'S SPARROW under the feeder on June 7 , and on June 10 a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER was heard singing in the yard. On June 13, a TENNESSEE WARBLER was belting out his cheery song. Bob Dunlap while in Clay County found 8 WHITE-FACED IBIS at Felton Prairie, only three of which were still there the next day. A LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was along CR 108, and he found a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE in Glyndon, all on June 6. Marshall Howe in Hubbard County found a WOOD THRUSH in Paul Bunyan State Forest on July 12th, and a NORTHERN PARULA at Akeley. CEDAR WAXWINGS and MERLINS were also seen in Hubbard County this week. Brian Gibbons tour group found an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER at Maplewood State Park on June 10. The bird was found on the right side of the entrance road about 0.2 mile beyond the contact station. Thanks to Bob Dunlap, Kim Eckert, and Marshall Howe for their reports.
