This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday, July 13th.
A WHITE-WINGED DOVE appeared at the Watson's family farm in Grand Marais, Cook County, on the 10th and it has been present every day since then. Specific directions have not been provided, so it would be best to call the Watsons for information at 218-387-1484. There have been six accepted records of White-winged Dove in Minnesota dating back to 1985, and this is the second report this year.
Shorebirds reported by Steve Weston on the 7th included LESSER YELLOWLEGS, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, and SHORT- BILLED DOWITCHER. These birds were seen at Mud Lake along the Ravena Trail just southeast of Hastings, Dakota County.
A pair of WILLETS was seen by Craig Mandel at the Hills sewage ponds on the 12th, along Rock County Road 6, a mile south of highway 270.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, July 21st.
