This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, October 11th 2007.
On October 6th, a juvenile SABINE'S GULL was found at Lanners Lake in Yellow Medicine County. Lanners Lake is on the south side of county road 32, two miles west of county road 11.
A juvenile SABINE'S GULL was seen near the lift bridge on Park Point in Duluth on the 5th. Then on the 6th both a BARROW'S GOLDENEYE and and ARCTIC TERN were reported from Park Point. The Goldeneye was seen near the rowing club building at about 38th Street and the tern was over Lake Superior at the Recreation Area. Lake Superior has recently hosted SURF SCOTER, WHITE-WINGED SCOTER, BLACK SCOTER, RED-THROATED LOON, and PACIFIC LOON.
Mark Junghans reported a TUFTED TITMOUSE on the 9th at his feeder in Ramsey, Anoka County.
A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was along Scenic Highway 61 in Knife River, Lake County on the 10th. It was on the north side of the road about a block east of Emily's Restaurant.
On the 6th, a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was at the Bass Ponds area of Bloomington in Hennepin County. It was seen near the northern edge of first large pond to the west.
And finally, it now looks as if the Gyrfalcon reported September 28th on the Minnesota side of the Superior Entry of Park Point in Duluth is an escaped falconer's bird, and probably of some mixed European or Asian species.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, October 18th 2007.
