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, August 8. 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.
Curlews top our report this week, but there are other good sightings, too.
Daniel Ackerman found a huge flock, 34 LONG-BILLED CURLEWS, just west of
Amidon on August 6. He says the curlews and at least 25 KILLDEER were
feeding in a harvested wheat field that had been baled for straw. For the
exact location, you can call Daniel at 330-5781.
Carl Stangeland found six WHITE-FACED IBIS at a nearly dry slough about
five miles northwest of Kensal on August 7. For details, contact him at
carlcs@daktel.com
Dean Riemer took the long way home from work on August 3, and found seven
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS with about 20 KILLDEER at the lake in Rendezvous
Park in the southern part of West Fargo. Dean has directions on how to get
to the site. Contact him at driemer@kwh.com
Russ Dawson's yard in the Cathedral area of Bismarck was invaded by eight
COMMON NIGHTHAWKS on August 2. Russ says they chased insects for
half-an-hour and then headed toward the Capitol building. He also reported
an influx of CHIMNEY SWIFTS about the same time. Contact Russ at
nicroft@bis.midco.net
Linda Gregg is feeding 20 or more BALTIMORE ORIOLES and a number of
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRDS at her feeders in Horace. Other visitors
include a few ORCHARD ORIOLES. She also reports large numbers of
RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKERS, DOWNY WOODPECKERS, HAIRY
WOODPECKERS and PILEATED WOODPECKERS. Linda says she is also seeing a few
AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES, HOUSE FINCHES and BLUE JAYS. Contact her at
lgregg@wah.midco.net
Don and Joan Hammer of Bottineau are feeding about a dozen RUBY-THROATED
HUMMINGBIRDS each day. Sorry, no contact information.
>From rural New Town, Bernice Houser's yard has young BLACK-HEADED
GROSBEAKS, along with CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS, FIELD SPARROWS, CHIPPING
SPARROWS, LARK SPARROWS, LAZULI BUNTINGS, BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES, DOWNY
WOODPECKERS, YELLOW WARBLERS and AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES. Bernice adds that
the MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRDS are beginning to flock together. Contact her at
sanishnd@hotmail.com
And, Pat Pieri reports a RINGED TURTLE DOVE came to her north Fargo feeders
on July 31 and August 1. Pat says she was surprised to see the likely
escapee. If it escaped from you, contact her at 371-2252.
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
