This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Monday, April 30th 2007.

A GLOSSY IBIS, along with at least 22 WHITE-FACED IBIS, were found in Lac Qui Parle County on the 29th. They were initially found southwest of the town of Madison near the junction of Lac Qui Parle County Road 14 and 221st Street. Throughout the day, they worked their way southward, but as of this morning they were back at the original location. Directions from Madison are to go south for two miles on U.S. 75 to county road 14, then six-tenths of a mile west.

Also of note was the reported SPRAGUE'S PIPIT seen the same day at the east end of Lake Byllesby in a gravel pit on the north side of the road. This bird has not been reported since its discovery.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, May 3rd 2007.
