Re: [mou-net] Black-legged Kittiwakes- Olmsted County

2018-05-05 Thread Steven Houdek 
The bird in question did appear to have a dark trailing edge to the underwing, 
suggesting first winter Bonapartes.  The upper wing was patterned with the M.  
I now believe this to be the most likely identification.  Sorry for the 
confusion.

Six birds in flight over east landfill reservoir, heading to the northwest.  A 
brief glimpse of at least one juvenile with bold M pattern on the back when 
circling.

I searched for the Dakota Cattle Egret between 6:25 and 7:25 this evening
without success. It appears to have run before the brief storm which hit
just as I arrived. A single Willet was present at the south end of the
marsh (where the egret was last seen about an hour earlier).

[mou-net] Plegadis ibis at Getchell Lake in Stearns Co.

2018-05-05 Thread Chu, Philip 
Today along the northeast shore of Getchell Lake in Stearns Co. there was a 
Plegadis ibis; I first noticed it at 11:25, and it was there when I left at 
1:00.  It was an adult, but was always between 400 and 800 yards away, so my 
ability to evaluate bare-part colors was quite limited:  legs were pinkish red 
and bill was grayish, but I couldn't determine color of the bare facial skin, 
and I *for sure* couldn't determine iris color.


Also, there was an obvious whitish border above and below the bare facial skin; 
couldn't be sure if it went behind the eye.


So, the breadth of the whitish border, especially below the bare facial skin, 
in combination with the pinkish red legs, is suggestive of White-faced Ibis, 
though as was mentioned above I was a "few cents short of a dollar," 
identification-wise, given especially the problems posed by mixed-blood 
Plegadis.

[mou-net] Black-necked Stilt - Swift Co

2018-05-05 Thread Howard Towle 
There are currently five Black-necked Stilts at the Murdock Sewage
Ponds along CR 33 just NE of town. The birds were on the most
northerly pond, easily viewed from gate. Later they flew to the middle
pond, which cannot be viewed. This appears to be a first county
record.  Also present were four Willets.

[mou-net] Hooded Warbler - Sherburne NWR

2018-05-05 Thread Refsnider 
This morning on Sherburne's Blue Hill Trail Maureen & I spotted a male 
HOODED WARBLER.  It was midway between the base of Blue Hill and the 
beginning of the spruce plantation.  He was readily seen and quite 
vocal. Sometimes he did the full typical song, but often sang only the 
closing 3-4 notes.


Other species of note, all on the Blue Hill Trail, except the final 2 
species were on the Mahnomen Trail:

Lark Sparrow
Many Eastern Towhees
Palm Warblers
Yellow-rumped Warblers
Yellow Warbler
Black and White Warblers - 2
Common Yellowthroat
Ovenbird
Sora - heard
Virginia Rail - heard
Northern Harrier
Hermit Thrush
Swainson's Thrush
Red-headed Woodpecker
Slate-colored Junco - seems like a straggler

The Hockemas, Alex Burchard, Kim Emerson and I stopped at the flooded fields 
in Wabasha County at the intersection of 24 and T-66 just north east of 
Kellogg. 
A good number of birds here, but the best we’ve found so far are one 
SANDERLING and an AMERICAN AVOCET!

Re: [mou-net] Updates on KEWA?

We walked the path after crossing bridge for sometime yesterday before
going back and walking OTHER side of bank.  That was how we finally found
the bird.  It was skulking under some dead logs right on the stream bank,
well before large dead log across stream. Check both sides of the bank.

Good luck.
