[mou-net] Malardi Lake shorebirds

2013-07-20 Thread Robin LaFortune
I checked Malardi Lake today to see how far drawn down it is- there is very 
little water left, with lots of mud flats.  There were about 150-200 shorebirds 
there today.  Not much variation, as about 95% of the birds were either Least 
Sandpipers or Pectorals, but there were a couple Yellowlegs, Semi-Palmated and 
Spotted Sandpipers,  and a Snipe.  Hopefully there will be more variety as 
shorebird migration progresses- the habitat looks good!  Lots of turtles too!

This lake is near Montrose,  which is in Wright Co.

[mou-net] Malardi Lake

2013-05-15 Thread Robin LaFortune
Visited Malardi Lake today, which is in drawdown, with plenty to see.  Two 
birders that were there before me told me that half the flock left after a raid 
by 2 Peregrine falcons, but there were still a lot of birds.  Besides the usual 
yellowlegs and peeps, there was an American Avocet, 2 Hudsonian Godwits, a good 
handful of Dunlins, 3 Willets, some dowitchers, semi-palmated plovers, and 
Black Terns.  Also a good mix of waterfowl, and lots of Harris's sparrows on 
the road in-

[mou-net] Two Harbors Boreal still present

2013-01-26 Thread Robin LaFortune
Hi,

The Boreal Owl in Two Harbors was seen last evening between 4:30 and 5:30, 
moving around a bit, but mostly west of 3rd St in the alley between 2nd and 
3rdAve.  

Along with me were 2 other birders, Eric and Melissa, and we all got great 
views of a new life bird.  Jim Lind showed up, too. Thanks for the tip, Jim!!

[mou-net] Wood thrush- Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park

2012-10-06 Thread Robin LaFortune
Out birding today with friends, I was surprised to find a late lingering Wood 
Thrush. It was seen foraging with 3 Hermit thrushes.  In comparison to the 
Hermits, the Wood Thrush was larger, with very rufous upperparts and very 
bright white underparts, and large dark spotting.  Made the Hermit thrushes 
look drab in comparison.  Seen on the first small loop of the hiking trails.

We also had a small flock of American Pipits flitting around on the rocks by 
the dam.  The water was VERY low.

[mou-net] Red Crossbills Sherburne NWR

2012-08-16 Thread Robin LaFortune
Birding yesterday at Sherburne NWR, I heard and saw 2 Red Crossbills.  It 
sounded like there were more but it was hard to see through the spruces. 
Observed in the evergreen section of the Blue Hill Trail. 

Before I got to the evergreen area, I found a pair of Scarlet Tanagers- the 
male was an orange variant!  Surprising to see- I thought it was an oriole at 
first.

I also looked for gallinules and chats  Saw several juvenile and 1 adult 
Common Gallinule but no chat.  Had a GREAT look at a Least Bittern that landed 
right by me as I stood quietly watching the gallinules. A very enjoyable day.

Hi,

Out walking today at Lake Rebecca PR, I found a Hermit thrush (late? early? 
over-wintering?).  It was observed just off the trail that runs along Rattail 
Lake, that starts off of Co Rd 92.  A photo was summitted to Recently Seen on 
the MOU website.

Later I refound the Townsend's Solitaire off trail in the pines nearby. 
Couldn't get a photo, only saw it briefly.

 Hi,

I found a Townsend's Solitaire on Sun and Mon at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve near 
Delano.  This was the same area that I found a Solitaire twice on 2 separate 
years(but not last year).  The location is directly east of Rattail Lake, south 
of the hiking trail and west of  Co Rd 92. I can't give very good directions as 
I was walking off trail thru the pines close to 92 and south of the hiking trail

Also in the area, I flushed a GHO and saw a couple of Brown Creepers and 
Red-breasted Nuthatches.  No winter finches, and otherwise pretty quiet.

[mou-net] Purple sandpiper still present

2011-10-15 Thread Robin LaFortune
I headed out to Lubenow WPA as soon as I heard about the Purple Sandpiper and 
arrived at about 4:15pm. There were quite a few hunters present.

 The road (230thAve SW) winds along side the WPA, then through it,  forming a 
rocky shore on both sides of the road. The bird flushed from the west side of 
the road, flying only about 20 ft.  I got great looks from the car, and some 
so-so photos that I'll try to post later on the MOU site. The bird was very 
tame and actively feeding. It was still there when I left. I did not see the 
Sanderling.

I also saw a few Eurasian collared doves in Pennock, west of Willmar, on the 
wires on the way home.

Kudos to Denny and Barb for a nice find, and thanks to Bob for the report.  A 
lifer for me and a great MN bird!!!

As I was in Howard Lake today visting friends, I stopped at Smith Lake to see 
if any there was any interesting activity.  

There were about 30 least sandpipers, two spotted sandpipers, and a skazillion

[mou-net] Hooded warbler -western Henn Co

2010-05-16 Thread Robin LaFortune
Birding at Lake Rebecca PR this morning, I was very surprised to find a Hooded 
warbler.  The bird was not singing, but drew my attention with loud bright chip 
notes. I watched it for about 10 min, then it disappeared into the understory.  

 Besides this nice surprise, I found very few migrants,and only 9 species of 
warblers. Lots of resident birds setting up territories.  Quite a few 
yellow-billed cuckoo calling, too.

Directions to area- Enter the park main entrance and park at the boat launch 
area.  Follow the hiking trail south, along the edge of the lake.  There are 2 
trails branching off left, take the 2nd trail left(east).  This goes straight 
up the hill. I saw the Hooded warbler at the top of the hill, going right.

[mou-net] Wood thrush, osprey, Lake Rebecca PR

On an after dinner bike ride around Lake Rebecca Park Reserve, I stopped to 
watch an osprey hunting/dive-bombing for fish on the lake, coming up successful 
on the 3rd try.  I later saw a nest on a platform built a couple of years ago- 
I think this is the first year that they've nested in this park.

Towards the end of the ride, I heard a wood thrush singing in the gloaming.  I

[mou-net] Shorebirds, New Germany

2009-08-05 Thread Robin LaFortune
Hi,

   My sister and I checked out a new shorebird spot I found near New Germany.  
It's a new housing development ( Trophy Lakes IV)  that has no houses built 
yet.  A shallow artificial lake/pond was put in, rather u -shaped, with sandy 
mud flats and good shorebird habitat.  Not a lot of birds today except 
skazillions of killdeer, but we did see one buff- breasted SP, one sanderling, 
and 3 semi-palmated plovers, plus some black terns, horned larks and pipits.  
Hopefully as shorebird migration increases, it will get more birdy

Directions-
Hwy 7 west towards New Germany, south on 33 and west on 62 St.  The development 
is on the north side of the street.  Warning-  speed boats have been practicing 
for some kind of competition on this small lake, but they haven't been too 
bothersome.

The usual shorebird spots in New Germany have poor habitat- no water, too many 
weeds.

I stopped at the Sleepy Eye sewage ponds on my way home from the MBW and was 
rewarded with a beautiful black-bellied plover in breeding plumage.  It was 
walking on the berm between the front and back ponds. 

 There was plenty of activity in the back pond - 
30+ Wilson's phalaropes, 5 Willets, many peeps and yellowlegs, and a few 
dunlin. Also a nice variety of waterfowl.

I also found several red-necked grebes on Braunworth lake, just NE of Young

Out birding at Lake Rebecca PR, I saw a winter wren hanging out by a soggy log. 
 I  also flushed 3 woodcock (almost stepped on one!).  Saw an eastern phoebe

On the lake (Rebecca and nearby Roy lake) were about 10 common loons, along

Early this am, in the wetland behind our woods, I heard winnowing snipe and a

Hi,

I found a Townsend's Solitaire today while out hiking at Lake Rebecca Park 
Reserve near Delano.  This was the same area that I found a Solitaire twice 
last year.  The location is directly east of Rattail Lake, south of the hiking 
trail and west of 92.  Follow the deer trail/foot path that leads south off the 
hiking trail. Check this link for a map:
http://www.threeriversparkdistrict.org/parks/maps/Lake_Rebecca_summer.pdf   
There is a lot of evergreens there and a couple of crab apple trees, fairly 
close to the east side of the lake.  Red-breasted nuthatches, pine siskins and 
purple finches were also seen in the area.  I also saw a Northern shrike along 
the east side of Lake Rebecca Road.

At home, we still have a fair amount of pine siskins at the feeders and a 
Northern Flicker visiting regularly.
