[mou-net] FOY Palm Warbler, Green Heron, Cliff Swallows Westwood Nature center

[Barb McGregor_Sue Bergman]

Tonight we walked around the lake which has now become mostly ice free and 
observed a wonderful green heron just before the boardwalk area. Also noted 
were the many cliff swallows working hard on nest building on the back of the 
buildings along the 394 side. Then we were rewarded with the palm warbler, 
actually a pair along the boardwalk as we were leaving. A very nice evening at 
the nature area. 
The Great Horned owl was very visible also right off the trail as you enter 
into the park. The mate was probably still in the nest with the young. The nest 
is off the steps near the visitor center. Last time we were here we spent so 
much time looking at the owls we had no time to circle the lake!

[mou-net] Putting out the Oriole Feeder & Estimated Arrival

[Fr. Paul Kammen]

Quite sad to see our forecast the next few days, but hopefully no snow that 
sticks and back to 65 in a week. Thankfully weathermen never lie. 

In the lousy winter of 2011, there were snow flurries on May 1st, and when I 
got 
back to the rectory after Mass an Oriole had arrived and was enjoying an 
orange. 

I just put out my Oriole feeders tonight at the office and rectory, and as a 
newer 
birder I'm wondering if they tend to follow the same arrival dates or if it 
will be 
delayed due to our colder "spring." My guess is they will be hungry when they 
get here so might as well put them out now. I haven't heard of any arrivals in 
Minnesota on here so I'm guessing it might be a bit, but it will be nice to 
hear 
their song again and see the little orange and black guys enjoying the jelly 
again.

Just curious if anyone is joining me in putting out the feeders this week. 

Good birding,
Fr. Paul, Delano

Subject: [mou-net] Smith's Longspur, Cattle Egrets, and other migrants in 
Wilkin-Otter Tail-Grant counties

During the April 27-28 Minn Birding Weekend (MBW) in NE Wilkin, W Otter Tail, 
and NW Grant (briefly) counties, we found a lone, cooperative, 
breeding-plumaged male Smith's Longspur on Saturday afternoon along Wilkin CR 
15, 1 mi W and 1.5 mi S of Lawndale.

Also of note this weekend:

- There were thousands (perhaps tens of 1000s) of northbound waterfowl filling 
the skies in NE Wilkin Co on Saturday morning. Most of these were Gr 
White-fronted & Snow geese (with several Ross's among them, but only 3 Cackling 
Geese) and Tundra Swans; conservatively, I estimated/calculated we saw 9,000+ 
swans. However, there was little or no movement of waterfowl on Saturday 
afternoon and Sunday.

- Greater Scaup were unusually widespread, being seen at several locations; 
usually this species is rare in wetlands of the prairie pothole region. 
Similarly, Horned Grebes were seen at many places, even though not a single 
Eared Grebe was found, and we unexpectedly saw more Bonaparte's Gulls than 
Franklin's.

- Two Cattle Egrets were found yesterday by the grain elevators in Wendell, 
Grant Co.

- Almost surprisingly, given how many ibis are being reported elsewhere, we 
were unable to turn up any White-faced Ibis during the main MBW. However, en 
route to meeting the group on Friday, Dave Johnson saw a few ibis along Hwy 27 
a few miles E of Wheaton, Traverse Co, and Barb & Denny Martin had one along 
Traverse CR 9 just N of CR 10. Also, a few of us relocated those 2 White-faced 
Ibis late Sunday afternoon in Becker Co along 330th St, ½ mi E of Hwy 59.

- There was a strong movement of raptors, mostly on Saturday afternoon in 
Wilkin Co. In all, we saw a total of 13 species, including 4 Peregrines plus 2 
other large, unidentified falcons.

- Migrant passerines were few and far between: e.g., we saw <10 individual 
warblers all weekend (Orange-crowneds and Yellow-rumpeds). However, a few Com 
Redpolls were still present in open country away from towns/feeders.

[mou-net] Glossy Ibis ?--Swan Lake south

[Hoeger-Lerdal]

I did not see the Nicollet Cty. Swan Lake CR 4 north boat access Glossy Ibis 
today when I arrived about 11:30 am,
but at 12:30 on the South side of Swan Lake at the Nicollet Bay public boat 
access (471st Ln?),
there were 6 Ibis feeding around an island in the channel about 100 yards 
looking north from the boat
dock. 
Five were White-faced, with distinct white borders surrounding a pinkish face, 
but the 6th Ibis had a very
thin whitish-bluish border around a dark grayish face. The iris on this bird 
also appeared darker.
The legs were all basically submerged.
They all flew off to the west when a canoeist paddled by.
(Of course, now a little later when I get home, I read the north Glossy has 
returned---could these be
the same bird?)

[mou-net] Lac Qui Parle/Salt Lake Weekend; Smith's Longspurs

[linda whyte]

We are still catching up at home, after another fantastic Salt Lake Birding
Festival. The weather offered warm days and cool nights, clear and almost
insect-free, even of ticks. As always, the hospitality and geniality was
unparalleled. Although we've had an atypical spring with delayed migration,
there were indeed many species there.

Rob and I saw over 70 species, including 11 FOY for me, some of them
life-birds. Some favorites  seen were Wilson's Phalarope, Marbled Godwit,
American Golden Plover, Ferruginous Hawk, Eared Grebe, Franklin's Gull, and
Smith's Longspur.

The Smith's were especially fun, a beautiful life-species Rob and I
happened across when looking instead for some Chestnut-collared Longspurs
that Jason, a local guide, had seen earlier that morning. Habitat, sound,
and behavior pointed to Longspurs but we quickly realized "these are not
the (birds) you are looking for", and checked the Sibley for ID. Their
close proximity to the road and their general fearlessness gave us some
great looks.
Luckily, fellow birders were still down the road close by; Rob stayed on
site to deal with the challenge of keeping the birds in view, while I drove
back to Steve Weston and others in the party. Steve alerted our host, Ken
Larson, too. With team effort everyone got good looks at both genders of
the Smith's Longspurs.

Our thanks goes out to Ken and Mary Lou, Steve, Jason, the local people who
made the meals possible, and all those who shared their sightings. This
festival is one to put on your calendar for next year.

I watched the ibis for ten minutes then slowly got out of my car.  I took one 
lousy photo, set my scope up and got a brief, very good look through my scope, 
then it flew calling beyond the trees to the SE.  No trace of white or red on 
the face.  I believe it is a glossy.

[mou-net] Rice Paddies

[Kelly Larson]

I returned from a two day trip to the cities late Saturday night to find that 
spring had finally arrived in the Northwoods. A trip up to the paddies north of 
Clearbrook in Clearwater county on Sunday netted 85 species including 20 
species of waterfowl. There is still some snow and ice on the paddies and they 
have not started flooding the fields - but a few spots held enough melt water 
to accommodate a respectable number of anxious ducks, geese and swans. A single 
flock of what I believe where Forester's Tern coursed over the distant reaches 
of open water. Hawks were plentiful and a beautiful Swainson's was a highlight. 
Male N. Harrier's were performing aerial breeding displays. Pied-billed, Horned 
and Western Grebe were also present. Sparrows made an excellent showing 
including incredible numbers of Fox and Junco. (There were probable several 
hundred Fox here at the Bagley farm alone!) White-crowned, White-throated, 
Savannah, Tree, Swamp, Lincoln's and Song. One Yr Warbler, a few Gc Kinglet, 
Brown Creeper and a Loggerhead Shrike. Blackbirds were found scouring the 
stubble in dry paddy fields in large numbers and included Red-winged, 
Yellow-headed, Brewers, Grackle, Cowbird, and Meadowlark. A few covey of 
Sharp-tailed Grouse, a pair of Marbled Godwit, a smattering of G and L 
Yellowlegs and a single Wilson's Snipe were found. Sandhill Cranes provided a 
wonderful musical score throughout the afternoon. Notable misses were Phoebe 
and Bluebird. A Phoebe is singing in the yard this morning, so he must have 
arrived overnight.

I was out early this morning and the Greater Prairie Chickens are out in

overnited in the drainage ditches.  I would guess about 500 to 1000 
Swans with Snow Geese and Blue front mixed in also about 100 Northern 
Shovelers these were seen between 140th St and 150St on 170th Ave. 
there is a drainage ditch running sort of NM to SE and it was full of 
Swans and Geese

[mou-net] Smith's Longspur, Cattle Egrets, and other migrants in Wilkin-Otter Tail-Grant counties

[Kim R Eckert]

During the April 27-28 Minn Birding Weekend (MBW) in NE Wilkin, W Otter Tail, 
and NW Grant (briefly) counties, we found a lone, cooperative, 
breeding-plumaged male Smith's Longspur on Saturday afternoon along Wilkin CR 
15, 1 mi W and 1.5 mi S of Lawndale.

Also of note this weekend:

- There were thousands (perhaps tens of 1000s) of northbound waterfowl filling 
the skies in NE Wilkin Co on Saturday morning. Most of these were Gr 
White-fronted & Snow geese (with several Ross's among them, but only 3 Cackling 
Geese) and Tundra Swans; conservatively, I estimated/calculated we saw 9,000+ 
swans. However, there was little or no movement of waterfowl on Saturday

- Greater Scaup were unusually widespread, being seen at several locations; 
usually this species is rare in wetlands of the prairie pothole region. 
Similarly, Horned Grebes were seen at many places, even though not a single 
Eared Grebe was found, and we unexpectedly saw more Bonaparte's Gulls than

- There was a strong movement of raptors, mostly on Saturday afternoon in

plethora of rivers, lakes, bogs and marshes. This first-class weekend 
birding festival gives participants a chance to visit a wide variety of 
habitats that support myriad bird species.



Over 225 bird species have been spotted at the Audubon Center property 
alone and during this weekend, participants have the possibility to 
identify many of Minnesota's Stewardship Birds, as recently identified 
by Audubon Minnesota.Stewardship birds are defined as bird species where 
Minnesota contains 5% or more of the bird's global breeding population.


11 of the 12 MN Stewardship Bird species are regulars to the area:

·American Woodcock

·Baltimore Oriole

·Black-billed Cuckoo

·Chestnut-Sided Warbler

·Golden-Winged Warbler

·Nashville Warbler

·Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

·Sedge Wren

·Trumpeter Swan

·Bobolink

·Veery

With field trips led by seasoned guides, engaging on-site workshops, 
bird banding sessions, a live raptor presentation, renowned keynote 
speakers, delicious homemade meals and comfortable accommodations, this 
festival is birding at its best. We invite you to join us for a fun and
