This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 10th 2008.
There is very little to report this week. On the 3rd, Pam Perry found a NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD in southwestern Aitkin County. The location was two miles north of the Aitkin County line on U.S. Highway 169 north of Garrison. It was on Conifer Street just south of the junction with 442nd Place.
On July 4th, two HENSLOW'S SPARROWS were at the Carpenter Nature Center in Washington County. The birds were on the north side of the East-West trail that leads into the prairie area. This trail's entrance is just south of the entrance road into park. Another HENSLOW'S SPARROW was in Hennepin County at Carver Park on the 9th. Follow the main trail west of the Lowry Nature Center to just past Crosby Lake and into a prairie area. The bird was calling from the right side of the trail.
A few shorebirds have begun to show up. Species already reported include LESSER YELLOWLEGS, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, and LEAST SANDPIPER.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, July 17th 2008.
