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,
September 6, 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.
It seems like a slow migration so far, but there have been some good
sightings.
>From southwestern North Dakota, Jack Lefor had a productive tour on
September 4. In Mott, he found an OSPREY, two OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHERS, a
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH a SOLITARY SANDPIPER and a BLUE-HEADED VIREO. At
Bowman-Haley Dam, he recorded BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, another SOLITARY
SANDPIPER, SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER, SANDERLING and WESTERN SANDPIPER. At
Gascoyne Lake, Jack added a BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON. On September 1, he
checked the shorebirds at Patterson Lake. Jack discovered a different
WESTERN SANDPIPER than he had found the previous weekend. For more
information, contact him at jpl@ndsupernet.com
Ron Martin reports an uneventful migration in the Minot area. Exceptions
include the EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE he saw in Velva on September 4. Ron
says it was the first record for McHenry County. Cell one of the Minot
lagoons is holding 500 to 700 shorebirds, and the cells have several
thousand dabbling ducks. Ron says September 5 was a big warbler day for
Oak Park. He found about 80 warblers of 10 species, including the first
NASHVILLE WARBLERS of the fall. Ron notes that the double-digit counts of
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS seem a bit early.
Contact him at jrmartin@ndak.net
Also from Minot, Charles Taft spotted a probable BALD EAGLE on the west
side of Minot near the Souris River on August 30. For details, contact him
at ctaft@minot.com
Connie Norheim birded Trefoil Park in Fargo on September 6. She reports
seeing lots of YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, a WILSON'S WARBLER and a NASHVILLE
WARBLER. Connie also heard vireos. She's at cnorheim@msn.com
>From Horace, Linda Gregg has noticed a decrease in the number of
RED-BREASTED GROSBEAKS and BALTIMORE ORIOLES, but many more RUBY-THROATED
HUMMINGBIRDS are showing up. Other arrivals include HOUSE FINCHES and
AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES. Linda's feeders are still attracting DOWNY
WOODPECKERS, HAIRY WOODPECKERS, PILEATED WOODPECKERS, and RED-HEADED
WOODPECKERS. A NORTHERN CARDINAL that had been
seen at dawn and dusk hasn't been around the past week or so. Contact
Linda at lgregg@wah.midco.net
Mark Otnes birded Dunton Locks County Park just south of Detroit Lakes,
Minnesota on September 5. In 2 ½ hours at one location, he recorded all
five vireos and 17 species of warblers. Mark says TENNESSEE WARBLERS were
abundant, NASHVILLE WARBLERS were very common, and YELLOW WARBLERS were
common. At the other end of the spectrum, he found only one or two
CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLERS, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS,
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, MOURNING WARBLERS,
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, WILSON'S WARBLER and CANADA WARBLER. For details,
contact Mark at markotnes@msn.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. 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
