This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday September 21st 2006.
For the past several days, up to six jaegers have been reported from the
lake side of Park Point in Duluth. At least one POMARINE JAEGER and
several PARASITIC JAEGERS have been identified. The Pomarine is a
dark-morph juvenile. Also seen from Park Point were up to four LITTLE
GULLS and a juvenile SABINE'S GULL. Look for these birds from the
viewing platform at Lafayette Square near 31st Street.
At Big Stone NWR in Lac Qui Parle County, several PLEGADIS IBIS were
still to be found along the auto tour road. On the 14th, Patrick Beauzay
reported eight in the wetland at the east end of the road, and on the
19th, Matt Mecklenburg also found a LITTLE BLUE HERON and a PRAIRIE
FALCON here and a SNOWY EGRET just down the road. As many as three
Plegadis ibis were still present on the 15th at the Conservation Club
access to Swan Lake in Nicollet County. And on the 18th, Bob Meyer found
a WHITE-FACED IBIS at the Sodus WMA along Lyon County Road 63, about
three miles north of the town of Balaton.
Jan Green reported a SPRAGUE'S PIPIT on the 17th in Duluth Township near
a horse corral at the junction of Homestead Road and the Old North Shore
Road, although it could not be located later in the day.
Herb Dingmann found three CLARK'S GREBES on Gorder Lake in Stevens
County on the 16th. The birds were near the south shore in with a group
of about seventy WESTERN GREBES. Gorder Lake is four miles south of the
town of Alberta.
A pair of ROSS'S GEESE was in Two Harbors, Lake County, on the 19th. Jim
