[mou] 2004 Summer Season
The summer season (6/1 - 7/31) has ended. If you will be sending in a seasonal report for inclusion in the summer summary to be published in The Loon, please do so now. Electronic reports should be e-mailed to me at this address by August 15th. (The deadline for electronic reports is always 15 days after the end of the season.) These reports include the files generated by the Minnesota Listing Software, data exported from Avisys, and other data exported to an Excel file (contact me for details). If you would rather submit by paper, please mail your forms directly to Peder Svingen, the Seasonal Reports Editor. Thanks for your observations and the details you provide!

[mou] Mille Lacs, Sherburne, Eastern Bention Counties Report
Over the last few days (niches of time while not in office), birded a radius of my southern Mille Lacs County residence - Sherburne NWR (Auto Trail, Blue Hill Trail, 175th Avenue), Pioneer Park, Highway 2 Ponds, Foley Gilman Sewage Ponds and roads in between. Following is a list of 88 species seen heard, with occasional comment: Common Loon (Auto Trail, mother adolescent) Pied-billed Grebe American White Pelican (diminished numbers) Double-crested Cormorant Great Blue Heron Green Heron (very common vocal) Canada Goose Trumpeter Swan Wood Duck Mallard Blue-winged Teal Redhead (single bird has been at Highway 2 ponds all summer) Ruddy Duck Bald Eagle (Osprey last week as well) Cooper's Hawk Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel Ring-necked Pheasant Sandhill Crane Killdeer Greater Yellowlegs Lesser Yellowlegs Solitary Sandpiper Spotted Sandpiper Semipalmated Sandpiper Least Sandpiper Pectoral Sandpiper Ring-billed Gull Black Tern Rock Dove Mourning Dove Chimney Swift Ruby-throated Hummingbird (had been a few weeks since last sighting) Belted Kingfisher Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Northern Flicker Pileated Woodpecker (somewhat surprisingly, on the Auto Tour) Eastern Wood-Pewee Alder Flycatcher Eastern Phoebe Great Crested Flycatcher Eastern Kingbird Yellow-throated Vireo Red-eyed Vireo Blue Jay American Crow Tree Swallow Northern Rough-winged Swallow Bank Swallow Cliff Swallow Barn Swallow Black-capped Chickadee White-breasted Nuthatch (can pick up RB at the dunes) House Wren Marsh Wren Golden-crowned Kinglet (coniferous stand on Blue Hill Trail, small flock there since I moved here in 12/03) Eastern Bluebird American Robin Gray Catbird Brown Thrasher European Starling Cedar Waxwing Golden-winged Warbler Yellow Warbler American Redstart Common Yellowthroat (note low numbers of warblers - although we have 10 nesters in the area, becoming increasingly difficult to locate - hear or pish out - typical, but frustrating) Scarlet Tanager Chipping Sparrow Field Sparrow Lark Sparrow Savannah Sparrow Grasshopper Sparrow (first week I've missed Clay-colored in a while) Song Sparrow Swamp Sparrow Northern Cardinal Indigo Bunting Bobolink (although was good to see a small flock, circumstances weren't - flushed by zealous non-resident mower in our new development - who asserted that there aren't any birds left there - dozens, including many immatures, scattered - although we are likely to keep our five acres for breeders and feeders, will probably lose many species now that homes are being built) Red-winged Blackbird Eastern Meadowlark Common Grackle Orchard Oriole (Auto Tour, first right turn) Baltimore Oriole American Goldfinch House Sparrow Good birding to all!

[mou] western MN shorebirding
On Saturday I checked numerous sites in Big Stone C., some in Lac Qui Parle Co., including Salt Lake (which had a Willet), and found good numbers of just the commoner shorebirds. But the site with the greatest number was 2 mi. north, 2 mi. east of St. Leo in Yellow Medicine Co. Bill Litkey (of Oakdale) -- http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! --
