Hi Birders:
I was thinking about trying to relocate the Buff-breasted Sandpiper found by
Doug Kieser yesterday. I was wondering if any other birders were going out
there to look this afternoon. I don't have a scope and I am not sure if one
is needed to see this bird. I was hoping to perhaps be
Hi Birders,
Just returned from a lovely evening at Purgatory Creek Rec Area in Eden
Prairie and we saw one buff-breasted! It was seen in the more distant of the
two grassy mudflats (as described by DKieser). Fortunately, little by little
it moved in closer (within 20m) and we were able to get g
Hi Birders,
I birded French Regional Park, Hennepin Co. from 1030-1330 today. A Northern
Shrike was patrolling the north end of a cattail-rimmed pond at 1300. This
small pond is just southeast of the main entrance to the park and south of
an apartment complex. The shrike was later seen at the w
Dear Birders,
This afternoon, Dan Karvonen birded Lake Calhoun, Mpls. At the northwest
end, about 75m offshore, we observed a first-year gull sitting on the water
for about half-an hour. I sketched it noting the following: smaller than
HeGu, much larger than RbGu; blackish primaries extended be
Howdy Birders,
A Caspain Tern was seen this morning at Basset Creek Park, in Crystal
(northwest of Minneapolis). It was circling over the main lake. It headed
south at 1140, out of the park.
Other birds of interest were:
American White Pelican---flock of about 75 circling high over hill at NW e
Hi Birders:
I am a new birder to the area and earlier today (0930-1330) I birded Wood
Lake Nature Preserve. I met some nice local birders who showed me some cool
Minnesota birds. I walked the perimeter trail where migrants were thick.
Highlights for me were: Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (1); Gray-chee
Hi Birders:
Birded Father Hennepin Bluff park upstream of the stone arch on the
Mississippi in Mpls this morning. Songbirds were everywhere:
17 species of warblers (often-times foraging on the ground or low in
branches), including Blackburnian and many Cape May.
Olive-side Flycatcher, Philadel
had large flock of Bohemian Waxwings SW of Northshore Cottages
near west entrance of Scenic 61 at around noon.
Thanks again for all the postings. I also saw the Dirt Factory NoHO
but the Boreals were a special birthday treat for me.

Just a few moments ago, I was looking out my work window at the busy
bird feeder when a Buteo caught my eye teetering overhead. It was a
beautiful Rough-legged Hawk. This was a first for me for Hennepin
County and the farthest south I've seen in Mn so it was an exciting
"yard bird"--but I t
Correction: RlHa was headed EAST towards Edina from where I work in
Eden Prairie (near 169 and I494).

Just had a flock about 10 Red Crossbills fly over low calling "jip JIP
jip...jip JIP jip". I am hoping they will discover my work feeder.
I work at Golden Triangle Dr in Eden Prairie just east of Lake
Smetana. The birds flew over headed to the SE. They looked hungry!
There are a few co
Happy snowy Friday birders,
It's a 4 blackbird species at my work feeder with side-by-side
comparison of 1 Rusty and 1 Brewer's Blackbird. The Brewer's is a
county first for me. The feeders are hopping with Fox Sparrows and
juncos. Flyover Great Egrets look mystical in this snowy, milky sky
My dad and I are currently listening to and seeing a: male Cerulean Warbler, at
Woodlake Nature Center, Richfield, Hennepin Co, Mn.
It is singing above the Irene Dahl outdoor education shelter on the east side
of the park. He's a solo bachelor but we did see him divebomb a male Blackpoll
