The nesting site is still continually used by gyrfalcons, the world's largest species of falcon, and is the oldest raptor nest ever recorded. Three other nests, each over 1,000 years old, have also been found, one of which contains feathers from a bird that lived more than 600 years ago. However, ornithologists fear climate change may soon drive the birds from these ancient nesting sites. Gyrfalcons live circumpolar to the Arctic. The birds range in colour from being almost exclusively white in Greenland to usually black in Labrador in Canada. Like many falcons, they do not build nests out of sticks and twigs, but typically lay eggs in bowl-shaped depressions they scrape into existing ledges or old nests made by other birds such as ravens. But while stick nests are often frequently damaged, preventing their repeated use, gyrfalcons will often revisit some ledges and potholes from year to year. To find out just how long the birds return to the same site, ornithologist Kurt Burnham of the University of Oxford, UK and colleagues decided to carbon date the guano and other debris that birds leave at various nest sites around Greenland. The cold dry climate of Greenland slows the decay of the falcons' droppings and various nest sites had built up levels of guano almost 2m deep. But Burnham was still surprised to find out just how old these nests are. Carbon dating revealed that one nest in Kangerlussuaq in central-west Greenland is between 2,360 and 2,740 years old, the researchers report in Ibis. Three other nests in the area are older than 1,000 years, with the youngest nest site first being occupied 520 to 650 years ago. These ancient nests are still being regularly used by gyrfalcons. "While I know many falcon species re-use nest sites year after year, I never imagined we would be talking about nests that have been used on and off for over 2,000 years," says Burnham. Within the nests, Burnham's team also found intriguing clues as to the past inhabitants. In the 13 nests sampled, they found three feathers belonging to previous tenants. The youngest came from a bird residing in the nest 60 years ago, while the oldest came from a falcon that used the nest some 670 years ago. The ancient guano samples also gave an indication of what the birds ate in times long past. Those gyrfalcons living in central-west Greenland, which is farther from the ice sheet and nearer the ocean, fed from a diet much richer in marine animals, such as little auks and black guillemots. Falcons living further north closer to the ice fed on terrestrial prey such as rock ptarmigan and arctic hare. "These findings put new emphasis on just how important nest site characteristics can be for raptor species, particularly large raptors," Burnham says. "Something, be it nest ledge depth, or the amount of cliff overhang above the nest, is so attractive at these locations that gyrfalcons are re-using them for thousands of years." Yet the fact that gyrfalcons remain faithful to certain nest sites for hundreds of generations suggest that they may be especially vulnerable to climate change, says Burnham. "As a result of a warming and ameliorating climate other bird species, such as peregrine falcons, are moving further north." "As peregrine populations continue to increase in density they will likely use more and more of these traditional gyrfalcon nests, forcing gyrfalcons to find alternate locations to nest in which may not offer the same amount of protection from the harsh Arctic environment in Greenland." Similar studies have been used to show when whole colonies of birds first took up residence at certain sites. By carbon dating solidified stomach contents, peat moss deposits and bone and feather samples from various moulting sites, researchers have in the past shown that colonies of snow petrel have returned to the same sites for 34,000 years and adelie penguins for 44,000 years.

(Sorry for the delay, but this is the first day since the original sighting that I've had both internet access and the time to post anything about this.) First of all, the birds were still present yesterday, June 22. Bob Dunlap saw/heard them then and on June 21, and several birders found them on the 20th. The location has been in the tall pine stands ~100 yards W of the wayside's picnic shelter on the W side of Hwy 32. On June 19, my Minn Birding Weekends (MBW) group saw and heard at least one wood-pewee giving Western-like call notes, but heavy rain showers at the time were making viewing/listening conditions difficult, and after an hour or so of this most of the group left. It finally stopped raining around 6:00 pm, and Ron Erperlding, George Vania, and I were able to more easily see or hear at least 4 wood- pewees during the next half hour. Here are the wood-pewees in the order in which we encountered them: Bird 1 - heard-only; gave both parts of a typical Eastern-like song: i.e., the clear, whistled, rising "pee-a-weee" and the descending, whistled "pee-ur"; no reason to think this was anything but an Eastern Bird 2 - gave 2 distinctly different vocalizations; usually (75-80% of the time) it gave a burry, nasal, hoarse, rising-in-pitch "brree", a call note which is entirely consistent with Western, and unlike Eastern; however, part of the time it also gave an Eastern-like call/ song, except it was abruptly truncated: "pee-a-w", with the third syllable basically missing Bird 3 - easily seen as it perched in the open for several minutes, but it remained totally silent during the entire time; several photos taken, but species unknown Bird 4 - repeatedly gave the same Western-like "brree" call note as Bird #2, and no other vocalizations We did not hear any of the wood-pewees give the standard, Western song: i.e. a burry, nasal, hoarse, dropping-in-pitch "beeerr"; as far as I know, none of the observers on June 20 heard such a song either. However, Bob Dunlap sent me the following about one of the wood-pewees he heard on June 22, which sounds like it may have been the actual Western song: "heard but not seen, perhaps 10 yards behind other pewees, twice in one minute, a downslurred, nasal 'dreee-er' was heard". Some observers (including Bob on June 22 and Tony Hertzel on June 20) saw/heard a total of 5 wood-pewees, with presumably a second singing Eastern present. I would urge that all observers send an account of what they saw/heard to mou-net, or to me privately, or to MOURC chair Peder Svingen, so we can attempt to sort out what is there. Note that I did not include here a description of any of the visual field marks we saw, since out-of-range wood-pewees are generally regarded as safe to ID in the field only when vocalizing; silent wood- pewee ID would need to involve a netted, banded, and measured individual or a specimen. However, if you go to view the Norman County wood-pewees, it is definitely worth taking careful notes especially on the lower mandible color, the relative boldness of each wing bar, and the darkness of the sides of the underparts. More importantly, field recordings need to be made of the vocalizations of these possible Western Wood-Pewees (or hybrids, or whatever they are), in order to adequately document this occurrence. As far as I know, no one yet has been able to obtain any recordings of them. One excellent source of recorded wood-pewee sounds can be found on the xeno-canto.org website. The Western Wood-Pewee is at , and the 9th track on this page is the best track of what we heard on June 19. The Eastern Wood-Pewee is at . Hope this helps. Other than than our wood-pewee ordeal, it was a relatively uneventful MBW tour!

Of these, 4 were vocal and seen well by both of us using spotting scopes at close range. Each of the four were quite similarly marked, ie. pale orange-yellow lower mandibles w/ perhaps a very small dark area at tip, similarly-sized and contrasting wing bars, overall pale underparts with pale gray broken vest with hint of yellow tinge. Undertail coverts white w/ no duskiness noted. Three of these gave plaintive Pee-a-wee songs only, while one gave only a BreeAA call, also plaintive and clear with no hoarse quality. A non-vocal, 5th individual (could possibily be one of the previous individuals) was seen by Drew and determined to be an Eastern based upon similar physical attributes described for the others. The weather was quite calm and hearing conditions were excellent. Pewee vocalizations were very sporadic and less than we expected considering the conditions. We could confirm no songs or call notes suggestive of Western Wood-pewee.

Two Red-headed Woodpeckers, one on the trail, one flying back & forth to the pole on the intersection of CR 9 & 42. No Golden-winged or Blue-winged seen or heard on the trail, seem to be only present on Mahnomen Trail and the Auto Tour this year, perhaps due to late burn? Good birding to all.

When I was working in the area on Wednesday, I found an easy-access Black-throated Blue Warbler along the Superior Hiking Trail. Getting there from 61, heading north: Just past the Cascade River State Park main entrance, turn left on CR 7. After about 4.5 miles, there is a left turn that should be either 48 or 158...sorry I didn't check more carefully. You're heading north for about .3 miles and come to a T intersection with some red pines in front of you. Turn left (now you're definitely on 158) and drive for about 1/2 mile. The road takes a 90 degree turn to the right here. Continue about another 1/2 mile to the parking lot for the Superior Hiking Trail. The Black-throated Blue Warbler was singing and eventually visible about 100' or so down the trail to the east side of the road, relatively flat terrain. The trail intersection with the "Sundling Creek Pond" sign would be a good spot to listen for it. On my way out, I could actually hear the bird singing from the parking lot, so it's possible to find from the road. Otherwise, Grand Marais and vicinity was really slow during what little birding time I had during my 4 days there. There were 2 Swainson's Thrushes singing from the west side of the Cascade River State Park campground where the campground comes closest to Cascade River and 4 Evening Grosbeaks plus a Magnolia Warbler at the so-called 'overflow campground' near the maintenance shop. -- Shawn Conrad http://users.2z.net/itasca_chippewa_birding/ ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ========================================================================= Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 19:53:39 -0600 Reply-To: Anthony Hertzel Sender: Rare Bird Alert From: Anthony Hertzel Subject: [mou-net] Brown Pelican Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Wally Swanson and Vern & Cindy Krienke are reporting an immautre or sub-adult Brown Pelican on German Lake, Le Sueur County, near the lake's island.

A Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was calling at Kathio State Park, northern Mille Lacs County - along the same 1/2 mile trail near the Interpretive Center as the Connecticut Warbler last week (boardwalk/bog area). Also had a Northern Waterthrush singing on the way in. Skipping the Cerulean for a moment, Bob Janssen, I and others have noted that a number of "northerners" are farther south than normal - two Olive-sided Flycatchers in Sherburne and southern Mille Lacs, three Nothern Waterthrushes in Mille Lacs, the Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, and others.

German Lake was very quiet, and nothing was seen there. However, aside from the in flight observation today (which wasn't mine), this is the only place the bird has been seen - once on the south side of the island which is only visible by boat or from private property, and once on the north side of the island. There is public access to the lake on the north side, which is an excellent place from which to scan the lake - except for the south side of the island. We spent most of our time this afternoon scanning Lake Jefferson, just west of German L., for the pelican. The best place to look for the bird appeared to be Swedes Bay. The link below will show you where we saw 500+ American White Pelicans in three separate flocks along shore and actively feeding on the lake, and where the Brown Pelican appeared to land, though we could not find it among the AWPEs. http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCC&cp=44.266899~-93.76637 9&style=r&lvl=14&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&cid=5D6F1918ED 24BB28!155&encType=1 Note that this area is much more accessible by boat than by car.
