This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday March 27th, 2014.
This is my 999th week as your statewide RBA compiler.
On March 27th, the LEWIS'S WOODPECKER was still visiting Janet Anderson's feeders in the town of Roosevelt. This is along Roseau County Road 17 just north of highway 11 and the bird is at the first house on the left after passing over railroad tracks. Please do not call or bother the Andersons in the evenings, and note that the bird had also been reported at the house directly to the east in Lake of the Woods County.
Tim Lamey reported four NORTHERN HAWK OWLS on March 23rd, all along U.S. Highway 2. In St. Louis County, he found two — 4.1 miles and 4.9 miles west of Floodwood. And in Itasca County, one was 2.2 miles and another was 3.1 miles west of state highway 200.
The only other reports I have this week are of northbound migrants. Included in those are new observations of GREATER SCAUP, RING-NECKED DUCK, TURKEY VULTURE, GREAT EGRET, GREAT BLUE HERON, KILLDEER, AMERICAN KESTREL, EASTERN PHOEBE, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, and COMMON GRACKLE.
The next scheduled update is Thursday April 3rd, 2014.
