This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 6th.
A SNOWY PLOVER was found July 1st, by Peder Svingen and Phil Chu, in Big
Stone County, just southeast of the town of Odessa, and two days later
two Snowy Plovers were seen in this area. Take Big Stone County Road 21
south off U.S. highway 75. Drive the short distance into the town of
Odessa. After County Road 21 turns to the east, take the second access
road south into the refuge. Park at the parking lot down the hill and
walk about 100 yards farther. Look west for the large sand spit. The
plover was about 400 yards distant. Check also just past the old quarry
about a mile south of this location.
On July 1st, Angie Farrell discovered a SCISSOR-TAILED FLYCATCHER
perched on a road sign on Yellow Medicine County Road 46 near the
intersection of State Highways 19 and 67. Summer records of this species
are rather unusual.
I have a belated report of a male LARK BUNTING from Marshall County. The
bird was seen in mid-June in Benville Township, two miles east and a
mile and a half north of the town of Grygla.
The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, July 13th.
