This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 8th 2007.
The potential first state record INCA DOVE is still being seen in Two Harbors, Lake County, as it has been every day since it was first discovered on October 30th. The bird spends much of its time in the backyard of the house at the southeastern corner of 3rd Street and 2nd Avenue, but it has also been seen in most of the block's backyards west of here. From state highway 61 in downtown Two Harbors, turn toward the lake on 5th street. Drive to 2nd Avenue and turn left. The house is at the corner of this avenue and 3rd Street.
