This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Tuesday October 19th, 2010.
A COMMON GROUND-DOVE was discovered by Bill Stauffer on the 18th in Richfield, Hennepin County, and it has been present all day today. The bird is near the western side of Hyland Park Reserve. From the junction of I-494 and East Bush Lake Road, go south for two and three-quarter miles to the entrance to the Hyland Park "Play Area" on the left. Turn east and drive about half a mile to the parking lots near the end of this road. Park in the lot on the right and look for the dove on the gound near the curb of the lot on the north.
On the morning of October 17th, a WHITE-WINGED SCOTER was on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis and it was seen on Lake Calhoun in the afternoon.
In Aitkin County, Warren Nelson found a GREAT GRAY OWL on the 17th along Aitkin County Road 18 about two and three-quarter miles east of U.S. Highway 169.
