This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, August 26th.
In Clay County, the ROCK WREN is still being seen at the Felton
Prairie. Directions from the town of Felton are to go south on state
highway 9 for two miles. Turn east on county road 108 and drive to
the T intersection. Follow the gravel road left and north to the
gravel pit area. Jerry Bonkoski reported it here on the 23rd.
On the 25th, Connie Brunell reported 27 HUDSONIAN GODWITS on the
west side of the Purgatory Creek Wetland in Eden Prairie, Hennepin
County, but none of these birds could be found later in the day.
Purgatory Creek Wetland is off Prairie Center Drive behind the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. Ryan Brady found a RED KNOT on the
26th, on the lakeside of Park Point near the Sky Harbor airport in
Duluth.
On August 20th, Rich Pagen found a CAROLINA WREN along the perimeter
trail in the southeast corner of Wood Lake Nature Center in
Richfield, Hennepin County.
And finally, I have a secondhand report of the possible sighting of
three American Dippers from the Superior Hiking Trail along the
Cascade River in Cook County. No other information has been provided.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, September 2nd.
