This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, August 26th.
In Clay County, the ROCK WREN is still being seen at the Felton Prairie. Directions from the town of Felton are to go south on state highway 9 for two miles. Turn east on county road 108 and drive to the T intersection. Follow the gravel road left and north to the gravel pit area. Jerry Bonkoski reported it here on the 23rd.
On the 25th, Connie Brunell reported 27 HUDSONIAN GODWITS on the west side of the Purgatory Creek Wetland in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County, but none of these birds could be found later in the day. Purgatory Creek Wetland is off Prairie Center Drive behind the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. Ryan Brady found a RED KNOT on the 26th, on the lakeside of Park Point near the Sky Harbor airport in Duluth.
On August 20th, Rich Pagen found a CAROLINA WREN along the perimeter trail in the southeast corner of Wood Lake Nature Center in Richfield, Hennepin County.
And finally, I have a secondhand report of the possible sighting of three American Dippers from the Superior Hiking Trail along the Cascade River in Cook County. No other information has been provided.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, September 2nd.
