Recent mou-net posts reported on a juv Little Gull at the Warroad sewage ponds, which was still present today, and the 6 Black-backed Woodpeckers along the Thompson Forest Road on Saturday. In addition to these, there were a few other birds of note found by the Minn Birding Weekends group in Lake of the Woods and Roseau counties during this weekend, September 4-7:
- A late Swainson’s Hawk today along Hwy 313 N of Warroad - 16 shorebird species: we found no flooded fields or any lakes/wetlands with low water levels and mudflats, but the Baudette, Warrroad, Roseau, and Greenbush sewage ponds were all productive. The most interesting sighting was the concentration of 60+ Wilson’s Snipes at Greenbush. - A late Western Kingbird in Warroad on Saturday. - 20 warbler species, although we found no significant waves or concentrations anywhere; there were just 1-2 individuals of several species. - Le Conte’s Sparrows at 2 Roseau Co locations on Sunday. - 1-2 late Bobolinks at the Roseau sewage ponds on Sunday.
