Welcome to the North Dakota Rare Bird Alert compiled by the North Dakota
Birding Society and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This report was
prepared on Tuesday, July 25. Unless otherwise noted, all phone numbers
mentioned are area code 701.
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, pipits, shorebirds and doves this week.
Dave Lambeth says two species of warblers have been coming to water in his
Grand Forks yard recently. He reports TENNESSEE WARBLERS at his place off
and on all month, including five at once on July 24. The visitors that
morning also included a NASHVILLE WARBLER. On July 20, Dave found a third
location for SPRAGUE'S PIPITS in southeastern Grand Forks County. He first
heard the bird and then saw it on the road and in a pasture about 14 miles
southwest of Grand Forks. His other recent sightings were in that same
general area, but the locations weren't as accessible. Contact Dave at

Eve Freeberg found four BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS at Kellys Slough National
Wildlife Refuge near Grand Forks on July 24. She reports wetlands are
rapidly drying up in the area. You can reach Eve at 741-8105.
On July 19, Ron Martin counted 2,300 shorebirds at the Minot lagoons.
Highlights included a single BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER, a PEREGRINE FALCON,
an adult BONAPARTE'S GULL and a movement in of BLACK TERNS. Contact Ron at
jrmartin@srt.com
Misty Thorenson has reached the conclusion that some white birds she has
observed at Fessenden are actually albino ROCK DOVES. She reports the
group consists of four full albino birds and one or two partials. For
details, contact Misty at babybirds@gondtc.com
And, for your calendar...the fall meeting of the North Dakota Birding
Society is scheduled for Devils Lake on Sept. 22-24. Pelagic boat trips
are planned for the final two days, with the business meeting on the 22nd.
To sign up for the boat trip, e-mail Ron Martin at jrmartin@srt.com
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. Contact 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
