This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday August 14th, 2014.
The WOOD STORK is still being seen daily in Washington County. It's west of Marine on St. Croix along Manning Trail about a half mile north of 155th Street.
Two LEAST TERNS were discovered on the 11th in Rock County just east of the town of Luverne. For the town of Luverne go east on Rock County Road 4. Turn south into the city park and after entering the park turn left and follow the road across the railroad tracks and over two bridges. After crossing the second bridge look for a flooded field on the south side of the road. The terns were seen among the shorebirds on the far side of the flooded field.
