This Week. Many Yellow Rumped Warblers and Hermit Thrush. Wilson Snipe flying in the lowlands (saw 9) in many places. Have come across 2 Great Horned Owls and 2 Coopers Hawks. The Mississippi just north of Little Falls has Greater (a fair number) and Lesser Scaup along with a large number of Red Heads. The Common Merganser have moved on but Buffllehead, Hooded Merganser, Common Goldeneye, Canvasback, Pied billed Grebe, Horned Grebe are still plentiful along with many Coot. Saw 1 Winter Wren in Lindbergh State Park and a Peewee. A lot of Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers are around with Flickers. The Osprey pair has been back at the tower by the dam in Little Falls for the last 2 weeks. Shorebird numbers are still low and the only other Warblers I have found are a few Pine Warblers that I heard. Looking forward to the warbler migration and more shorebirds. At the Albany Sewage Ponds there are many Scaup, a few Ringnecks, Canvasbacks, RedHeads, Ruddy Ducks, and Buffleheads. Many Bonapart Gulls were also present. Water level very high and no shorebirds are present.
