This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 15th.
The WHITE-WINGED DOVE was still at Nelson's Resort at Crane Lake, St Louis County on the 11th. You can call the resort at 218-993-2295 for updates.
On June 10th, a LAZULI BUNTING was at a feeder in St. Clair, Blue Earth County, on state highway 83. Birders are welcome to see the bird at 204 Park Street. I have a secondhand report of another Lazuli Bunting in northwestern Murray County, seen on the 12th at the vague location of "a feeding station on 181st St."
On the 12th, there was a report of a LITTLE BLUE HERON along Interstate 94. The location was described as the pond in the exit right before Interstate 494 splits off to the south, but it was unclear if this was in the northwest or the east Metro.
Most unusual was the reported GLAUCOUS GULL on the west side of Mille Lacs Lake, on the 14th. The location was the small beach near the intersection of county road 35 & U.S. 169.
A male KENTUCKY WARBLER was still present at Williams Nature Center near Mankato, Blue Earth County, on the 9th. Emily Hutchins found it singing on the North Loop of the Lloyd Vellmer Trail near the bench.
Thanks to Jim Otto, Dee Kuder, and Joel Hessen.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, June 22nd.
