This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November 30th 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.
Ben Wieland and Dale Yerger found a female-plumaged EIDER on the 28th on Shingobee Bay at Leech Lake in Cass County, but the particular species could not be determined. The location was along state highway 200 a few miles south of Walker, or 1.3 miles northwest of the junction of highways 200 and 371.
I have a secondhand report of a LONG-TAILED DUCK seen on the 27th along Wabasha County Road 24 where the Pioneer Club overlooks the Mississippi River.
A SNOWY OWL was in Lake City, Wabasha County, on the 28th. Walt Popp found it on the rocks at the marina in the morning and the bird was still there in the afternoon.
Cole Foster found a pair of TUFTED TITMICE on the 25th along Rice Creek in Fridley, Anoka County. They were seen from the paved trail that runs north from the creek about 200 feet west of the Anoka/Ramsey county line which is marked by a large fenced-in yard.
Allison Clarke reported a VARIED THRUSH in her east Duluth yard on the 28th. Birders are welcome to visit at 226 Ridgewood Road.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, December 6th 2007.
