Relocated: White-faced Ibis (7) continue at the Parnell Impoundment. Polk County 17 two miles East of US-75. They are moving around a bit and may require a little searching.
LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE (2) continue on Polk County 68 just west of Polk County 23 but are unreliable LAPLAND LONGSPUR continue in Polk, Pennington, and Marshall Not relocated: WHITE-FACED IBIS (1) at the Euclid East Impoundment. Possibly relocated: SNOWY EGRET (1) at the Agassiz Valley Project. A small Egret was seen roosting in Polk County yesterday by another birder, but might have been a Cattle Egret. The Egrets are no longer frequenting the 210 street ditch and I have yet to figure out where they are feeding during the day. Access to the roost site is at 210th street and 280 Ave in Marshall County. Roost tree is roughly one mile south near where the berm turns East. New birds: HOODED WARBLER reported on Sat 5/11/13 at the coulee in Grand Forks. I am unsure which side of the state line this is on. If it is in MN it would be in Polk County. Details can be found on the Grand Cities Bird Club yahoo group. My non-email internet is down atm, so no link. The groups website should be the first result on Google. I haven’t personally seen this one but figured it was worth reporting.
