This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 15th 2007.
The potential first state record INCA DOVE is still being seen in Two Harbors, Lake County, as it has been 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.
On November 10th, Ben Yokel found a NORTHERN HAWK OWL in St. Louis County along the Melrude Road, just east of U.S. Highway 53 and about six miles north of the town of Cotton. A SNOWY OWL was seen by Larry Wilebski on the 10th, one mile west and one mile north of Orleans in Kittson County.
Dean Riemer found a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE in Moorhead, Clay County on the 13th. This was about one block north of the intersection of South Elm and South River Road. Chuck Krulas found another one on the 10th just north of Elysian in Le Sueur County in a small gravel pit on the east side of state highway 13 about a tenth of a mile south of Lake Francis Road.
Tom Bloom had a rather late SWAINSON'S THRUSH at his home in Apple Valley, Dakota County, on the 12th.
And John Ellis reported a couple of SMITH'S LONGSPURS on the 10th, along 200th Street between 280th and 300th Avenues at Rothsay, Wilkin County.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, November 22nd 2007.
