Welcome to the Birding Hotline operated by the North Dakota Birding Society
and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service... This report was recorded on Tuesday,
August 30, 2005.
Transcriber's Note: Birds listed in ALL CAPS in the Birds Mentioned section signify
that the Revised Checklist of North Dakota Birds lists them as Occasional, Accidental,
Extirpated, or never having occured before for the season being reported.
Warblers continue to move into the state, and more shorebirds are being
seen, too.
Betsy Batstone-Cunningham and Ben Bartos found 23 species without leaving
Grand Forks on August 27, and all those were at the city cemetery. The
total included two lifers for Ben...two OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS and a
CONNECTICUT WARBLER. Other highlights included NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH,
OVENBIRD, CANADA WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER, TENNESSEE
WARBLER, CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER and NASHVILLE WARBLER, plus RED-EYED VIREO,
AMERICAN REDSTART, BALTIMORE ORIOLE and a young RED-TAILED HAWK. Among the
species heard, but not seen, were GRAY CATBIRD, BLUE JAY and CANADA GOOSE.
For details, contact Betsy at batsham@gra.midco.net
Ron Martin found a few migrants in Minot's Oak Park on August 29. They
included YELLOW-BREASTED FLYCATCHER, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, CHESTNUT-SIDED
WARBLER and MOURNING WARBLER. Near Sawyer, Ron had a visit from an early
PALM WARBLER. For more information, contact Ron at jrmartin@ndak.net
>From Dickinson, Jack Lefor reports that low levels at Patterson Lake have
attracted shorebirds. Recent sightings included three BLACK-BELLIED
PLOVERS, a SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER and a WESTERN SANDPIPER. The sandpiper
was still present on August 28. For details, e-mail Jack at
jpl@ndsupernet.com
A mixed flock of warblers distracted Jesse Kolar from his yardwork on
August 24 in Dickinson. The flock included YELLOW WARBLERS, WILSON'S
WARBLERS and one he couldn't identify. Jesse says a lone OSPREY flew along
the river on August 25, and he reports seeing more COOPER'S HAWKS lately.
Also, from a small plane flying at about 100 miles an hour, Jesse watched a
GYRFALCON moving almost as fast as the plane. For more information,
contact him at jekolar@hotmail.com
The rails and shorebirds are easy to see at Pipestem Creek near the
Foster-Stutsman County line. Ann Hoffert reports several families of
VIRGINIA RAILS and SORAS right beside the road. On August 24, there were
also several PECTORAL SANDPIPERS and LEAST SANDPIPERS, one LESSER
YELLOWLEGS and a WILSON'S SNIPE. For details, call Ann at 652-2623.
Sherry Leslie birded Fort Mandan, near Washburn, on August 28. The
highlight was 19 COMMON NIGHTHAWKS circling overhead. For more
information, call Sherry at 725-4389.
Rita Satermo got a real close look at an immature RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD
from her home near New Town. For details, contact her at rsatermo@rtc.coop
That concludes this report from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the
North Dakota Birding Society. This report is normally updated each
Tuesday. The Fish and Wildlife Service operates 62 National Wildlife
Refuges and 1,100 Waterfowl Production Areas in North Dakota...offering
some of the best birding opportunities in the state. According to the
American Bird Conservancy, nine of the 13 Globally Important Bird Areas in
North Dakota are National Wildlife Refuges. Contact individual refuge
managers for more information about visiting. For phone numbers of
individual refuges, as well as additional information, go to the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service web site at www.fws.gov Click on Offices, and click
