This is the Monday, September 12, 2005 Missouri Rare Bird Alert, a
statewide service of the Audubon Society of Missouri, serving the
birding community of Missouri since 1901. The bird alert is compiled
from reports submitted by ASM members and other birders throughout
the state. The report includes birds that are listed as rare, casual,
or accidental on the 2003 Annotated Checklist of Missouri Birds.
Species that appear in ALL CAPS in the “Species Mentioned” section
are listed as “casual” or “accidental”. (Note that some birds may be
considered rare only during a particular season or in a particular
part of the state.)
On Wednesday, Sept. 7, Mark Land had a brief look at an apparent
adult CAVE SWALLOW as it flew past at Weston Bend SP (Platte Co.).
This species does not currently appear on the Missouri state checklist.
One juvenile SABINE’S GULL was seen at Thomas Hill Reservoir by Joe
Eades between 2:45 and 2:55 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11. The bird was
seen flying over the lake near the Missouri Department of
Conservation boat launch off County Road 1180. To get to this spot,
take Mo Hwy 3 south past the Macon/Randolph Co. line. On the Missouri
DeLorme Atlas, CR 1180 is the second east-bound road off of Mo Hwy 3
south of Grand Center. It is labeled as "CR 5" on the DeLorme.
(DeLorme page 30, B2)
Also on Sunday, Sept. 11, Mike Brady reported one first-year female
BLACKPOLL WARBLER at Castlewood SP (St. Louis Co.), a species that is
listed as a hypothetical accidental fall migrant.
In the oxbow area south of St. Joseph (Buchanan Co.), Kristi Mayo
observed one adult Plegadis sp. (White-faced/Glossy Ibis) in basic
plumage at Muskrat Lake on Saturday, September 10.
In the Chillicothe area, Steve Kinder and Larry Lade spotted one
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER (rare migrant in the west) at the Thompson
River Wetlands (Livingston Co.) on Saturday, September 10.
