This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, May 18th.
Jerry Bonkoski found a EURASIAN WIGEON in Beltrami County on May 17th. The bird was on the rice paddies found about eight miles northeast of Waskish. These paddies are on Rice Paddy Road off of Beltrami County Road 40. Check the second pond on the west.
A SNOWY EGRET was seen on the 11th east of Lonsdale, Rice County, but
the directions were not specific enough for me to give an exact location.
A flock of 11 CATTLE EGRETS was along the east shore of Big Stone Lake in Big Stone County on the 12th.
On the 14th, Dee Kuder found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL along state highway 65 about 30 miles north of Nashwauk in Itasca County.
