Astonished to see a rh woodpecker near E.Island and Maple, on E. river side,
at Nicollet Island in Minneapolis. At 8:45, watched it for about 5 minutes
until it disappeared toward other side (west side) of the Island. Very
active day today - long list to follow.

We have a gorgeous Indigo Bunting about 10 feet away from our back porch here
in Chaska this morning. It's been perching in the trees and foraging on the
ground. It joins the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Hummingbird that arrived on
Monday.

Just in time for the Festival of Birds. The strong southerly winds last night
produced a nice influx of passerines. I saw 5 FOYs out the window during
breakfast this morning. Also many yellowish warblers fluttering about while
driving through town (unknown species). Saw six sanderlings on th
During a quick 40 min. pre-work walk at Wood Lake at 7:30am today, several
migrants were present: including ovenbird, Swainson thrushes, some warblers
(b/w, yellow, redstarts, nashvilles), rose-breasted grosebeaks, emp-flycatcher.
More time would probably yield more migrants than I was able to lo
Fantastic day at Nicollet Island and Boom Island Park near downtown
Minneapolis. I only had about a half-hour, didn't know where to look/listen
next!
A noisy, lively bunch. As per my other post, the highlight was the redheaded
woodpecker - what an unexpected treat.
Here were some of the highlig
Hi all,
I was looking out our screen door onto our deck this morning, and what did I
see in the tree that my wife wants removed? Why, a male Tennesee Warbler!
That's a first for our yard.

Hello,
There were birds everywhere at Murphy-Hanrehan (Savage, MN - Scott
County) today but you will need good ears and eyes and a neck of steel
to see most of them.
I had at least 100 warblers - maybe close to 150 - with only 1 single
Yellow-rumper Warbler and 1 Palm warbler seen all day. Total
Hi All--

To say that birding at Byllesby lately has been slow is an understatement.
Thus, I arrived early knowing that last night's big blow from the south would
deliver shorebirds to Byllesby. I wasn't disappointed. The winds were very
strong for the first hour and it
On three return trips to the WPA south of Starbuck, I was unable to relocate
the Summer Tanager. This does not mean it has left the area, the wind is
howling like crazy out here.
One "consolation prize", however. On Tuesday evening's attempt to locate the
tanager, there must have been 500 or
While out in the garage taking pictures of my female Tree Swallow picking up
nesting material off my driveway (dried grass clippings) my first female
hummingbird did a fly by, when I got in the house she was at my hanging

I was so close to 20 today and had a couple easy misses. Still, I was very
happy to see so many birds back in good numbers. All of the birds listed are
from the Upper Arb in Rice County.
Today's Warblers (some numbers given; *=FOS):
Nashville Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Palm Warbler
Ovenbird
Had great looks today at a semipalmated plover foraging along a
logging road that runs north from Aitkin County Road 18 through
Willowsippi WMA. I had bobolinks at several locations along County
Road 18.
Other notable birds: blue-headed vireo, golden-winged warbler, LeConte's sparrow

While my shorebird list is not comparable to Jim Mattsson's for Lake Byllesby
today, I had only about five minutes to look at Purgatory Creek (Eden Prairie,
Hennepin Co.) and this is what I found:
-Caspian Tern--many (wish I could have counted them)
-Forster's Tern--1
-Stilt Sandpiper--15
