This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, May 13th.

First reported on the 8th and seen as recently as today is the 
WHITE-WINGED DOVE in Ely, St. Louis County. It's being seen at the 
back yard feeding station of Steve Foss, who lives near downtown Ely.

Audrey Evers reported a PAINTED BUNTING in Hoyt Lakes, St. Louis 
County, on the 13th. It is hanging out on the 200 block of Kent Road 
and comes to a hanging feeder in the smallest of three pine trees in 
the front yard

Dory Spence reported a SAGE THRASHER at her home on the 11th, about 
three-quarters of a mile east of the town of Schroeder in Cook County.

There was a WHITE-FACED IBIS at the Mayer sewage ponds on May 13th. 
The ponds are located along Carver County Road 30 1/2 mile west of 
Mayer.

A SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER was reported from Camden State Park, Lyon 
County, on May 12. From the main gate, take the first left on a dirt 
road that leads to the upper campground. There is a trail that 
parallels the road on the west side, and the flycatcher was in the 
open area between the woods and road near two bluebird houses and an 
old stump.

The ROCK WREN in Clay County was still present as recently as May 
10th. From state highway 9, take Clay County Road 108 to the east. It 
will become a gravel road in about three miles and at the 'T' go 
north. The road will soon go east, and after a quarter of a mile look 
for the gravel pit. The bird was on the right side of the road going 
between the two large rock piles in the middle of the pit. The rock 
piles are labeled 6006.

A WORM-EATING WARBLER was reported from Big Stone NWR, Lac Qui Parle 
County, on the 7th. It was seen along the auto tour route about a 
quarter of a mile west of the parking lot.

Mike Hendrickson found nine RED-THROATED LOONS on the 13th in Duluth 
on Lake Superior near the harbor airport.

A YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was found at Turtle Creek in Mower 
County on the 11th. Take the 4th Street exit off Interstate 90. Head 
south on 4th Street to the bridge crossing Turtle Creek. Once across 
the bridge, the trail entry is approximately 40 feet on the left side 
of the road and across from the Calvary Cemetery.

A SNOWY EGRET was along the Peterson Pond loop trail below the 
Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge headquarters in Bloomington 
on the 11th. At Lake Alice in Fergus Falls, Otter Tail County, a 
minimum of five Snowy Egrets were in the resident heron rookery on 
the 9th. And a Snowy Egret was in Grant County on the 7th at the 
extreme south end of Pelican Lake. Four more Snowy Egrets and a 
CATTLE EGRET were also in Grant County on the 9th. From I-94 take the 
Ashby exit north, immediately turn right on County Road 54 and look 
for the small lake on the left. The Snowy Egrets were at edge of the 
lake and the Cattle Egret was on the right of the road.

On the 7th, a LITTLE BLUE HERON was at Blackhawk Park in Eagan, Dakota County. 

A male CINNAMON TEAL was in Otrey Township, Big Stone County, on the 
10th. It was found at a pothole on the east side of county road 12, 
one mile south of its intersection with county road 62.

A first Benton County record WILLET was at Benton Beach County Park 
on the 12th.

As many as 1,500 COMMON TERNS were counted in Duluth on the 13th 
between 31st Street and the airport of Park Point.

A NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was on the beach at Iona's Beach in Lake 
County on the 13th. 

A HOODED WARBLER was seen this afternoon in a tree along the Yellow 
Medicine River where it crosses Lyon County Road 3 about one mile 
south of the Yellow Medicine County-Lyon County line. This is about 
four miles north of the town of Minneota. And a Hooded Warbler was in 
the Vadnais Heights - Sucker Lake Regional Park in Ramsey County on 
the 12th. It was in the woods between the lake and the trail on the 
east side of Sucker Lake about one-half mile south of highway 96. 
Nelvina DeKam had a Hooded Warbler in her yard in Murray County, 
north of Leota, on the 12th.

A pair LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES was in Rush River County Park in 
Sibley County on the 8th. This is a first county record.

On the 11th, a SUMMER TANAGER was in Elaine Poulson's yard about two 
miles north of New Ulm in Brown County. Another Summer Tanager was at 
Hok Si La Park in Goodhue County on the 7th. A male WESTERN TANAGER 
was reported on the 7th in Collinwood Park in Wright County. The bird 
was along the main trail along the lake, south of the gravel parking 
lot.

And finally, on the 11th, a HENSLOW'S SPARROW was heard singing close 
to the road leading to the campground at Frontenac State Park in 
Goodhue County.

There are still a large number of Yellow-rumped Warblers in the yard today, but 
less than 2 days ago.  The cold weather has killed off many of the insects that 
hatched out last weekend, but now the warblers have found the mealworms we put 
out.
 
Other warblers seen today were Wilson's, Black and White, American Redstart, 
Northern Parula and 9 Palm Warblers all feeding in the yard at one time!
 
Also seen swimming by were a pair of Hooded Mergansers and a pair of Wood Ducks.

I was at Park Point today and saw a immature Red-throated Loon. This is =
no doubt the same bird Peder Svingen and I found on Monday evening. The =
loon was last seen straight out from the airport bldgs on Lake Superior.

On herding Island I counted at least 300 Bonaparte Gulls and about 50 =
Common Terns.=20

At Indian Pt. campground on the west side of the loop trail I found a =
Grey-cheeked Thrush. I also found a singing Marsh Wren on the east side =
of the loop trail in the cattails.=20

The warbler migration is poor in Duluth and anywhere along the river or =
Lake Superior because its so cold out and the insects are just not =
around for them to feed on. I am sure there is a few warblers moving =
around but I have not witness any large waves of warblers. The temps =
today are in the 40's and at night we dip into the upper 30's!  The only =
decent movement are the sparrows as most feeders in good numbers. As =
soon as Duluth gets a warm day the flood gates will open and birds will =
be pouring into Duluth. At least I hope so.

Fw: [mou] Lake Byllesby Birds, Dakota Co.

This morning around 10 am we saw several of slow, low flying Pelicans.
Couldn't see any in the water but saw several flocks of wild turkeys while
looking for them...

 This afternoon from 12:30-2:30 at Lake Byllesby which is on CR 88 (292nd
St E) in Randolph, on the south side of the road, out from the first gated
pullout on the north shoreline there were easily a 1000 shorebirds out on
the mudflats.  At one point I counted 500 on the ground just on half of the
mudflats.

 There was a flock of 30 Short-billed Dowitchers feeding with a flock of 25
Dunlin (many others also), and as far as you could see in the scope Lesser
Yellowlegs, Semipalmated, Least (dominateing the numbers) Pectoral (many),
White-rumped, Baird's, Sanderling, Spotted, Wilson's Phalarope, Semipalmated
Plover (many).  There was also a Ross's Goose that came out to the shoreline
from behind the cattails with 2 Canada Geese.

[mou] White-winged dove still in Ely

2004-05-14 Thread Steve Foss
I saw the white-winged dove again twice today, so it's been
nearly a week that it's been at the feeders. It stays a few
minutes at a time, gathering a full load of seeds, then
flies away to the west.

If you want to travel for a look, see previous post.

2004-05-14 Thread Audrey Evers
I have not had any reports of the Painted Bunting today, and the home owner 
assured 
me they would let me know if they saw it again.

[mou] St. Louis Co. WW Dove, Painted Bunting update

2004-05-14 Thread Jim Lind
I looked for the Painted Bunting in Hoyt Lakes from about 3:00-4:00 
pm and didn't have any luck.  I talked to the homeowner and he said 
he hadn't seen it since yesterday (Thursday).

I then met Peder Svingen in Ely and we relocated the White-winged 
Dove at 218 E. Harvey Street.  The best views were from the alley 
behind the house.  We watched the bird from about 5:00 to 5:45 as it 
sat in the tall ash tree above the feeders, probably trying to stay 
warm (it was 38F and breezy).  The bird was kind of hard to spot in 
the thick branches of the ash tree, but we eventually got some great 
looks.

On the way home there was a Great Gray Owl on Highway 1, 1/2 mile 
south of the Spruce Road.  A brief check of the Two Harbors golf 
course ponds turned up a White-rumped Sandpiper.
