A BLACK-NECKED STILT was at the Dahl Pool of Agassiz NWR in Marshall

Parle County, about seven miles west of U.S. Highway 75, a
mile-and-a-half south of U.S. Highway 212.
A WHITE-FACED IBIS was found by Bob Dunlap on the 23rd at Perch Lake in
Blue Earth County. It was seen from the south end of the lake along
Lakewood Road. Another ibis was found on the 26th by Paul Johnson in
northwestern Santiago Township at the junction of Sherburne County Roads
23 and 3.
Several LONG-TAILED DUCKS were at Stony Point in St. Louis County on the
22nd.
Up to 102 RED-THROATED LOONS were seen by Peder Svingen at Duluth's Park
Point on the 27th, and Karl Bardon reported a PACIFIC LOON on the 26th
at the Lafayette Square access. Jan and Larry Kraemer found 60 WHIMBRELS
near Park Point's Sky Harbor Airport on the 27th.
And on the 22nd, Dave Bartkey found a KENTUCKY WARBLER along the Trout

On May 27th, my husband and I saw a Short-eared owl on a fence post on =
the west side of U.S. 59 just south of 310th St. south of Newfolden. =
When we turned around and looked at it, the owl flew off and then =
returned to its perch as we drove back on the highway. =20

At 19:16 this evening, an adult Pacific Loon in breeding plumage flew by me=
at Stoney Point, St. Louis County. The bird was heading from Duluth toward=
s Knife River, so it could possibly be the same one I found at Park Point i=
n Duluth on the morning of 26 May. Although a regular fall migrant in very =
small numbers, this species is still only casual in spring.

Hi All--
Erika and I heard a Carolina Wren at the UM Landscape Arboretum in Carver
Co. It sang loudly at the southeast corner of the Green Heron Trail near a
pond to the southeast of the trail. To get there, walk along the trail past
where the now closed Bog Trail intersects. Keep walking maybe a mile. Keep
the large wetland to your right. The trail loops to the south. The wren
sang just as the trail turns west back towards the paved 3-mile driving
loop. (It would be a shorter walk to start out from the driving loop.) Let
me know if anyone sees or hears it again.
I was lamenting that I had left my iPod at home. In a moment of
inspiration, I (legally) downloaded songs (and photographs) of all the North
American birds into the Droid smart phone Erika recently gave me. It was
easy to do, but involved two application downloads and requires iTunes in
your computer and a legally purchased copy of Thayer
Birds of North America DVD or CD. If you want instructions, let me know
off-list.

Carolina Wren at Hyland Lake Park Reserve in Bloomington (6 a.m.
Sunday). The bird was singing loudly from trees on the west side of
the Visitor Center parking lot. Thereafter it flew east over the
center to the edge of Hyland Lake.

There was a male Lark Bunting present Friday and yesterday about a mile
(rough guess) east of the refuge headquarters along the main road through
the refuge.

Today around mid-day I found a cooperative Bell's Vireo in La Crescent =
in Houston County.
I was trying to follow Kim Eckert's directions to the dump on the north =
side of town. It's a little confusing, but the location is by an =
electrical substation that says 50 Main St. on the fence. This is on =
the east side of US 14/61. There is an intersection that is not well =
marked but Main St. is the east/west street and Sycamore/Chestnut is the =
north/south street. Turn east here on a gravel road and you will see a =
sign that says Loader has Right of Way. You will cross the railroad =
tracks and curve to the north by some wetlands. You then come to a =
parking area where an old semi was parked. Just to the east of the semi =
was the substation.
I heard and saw the bird behind and slightly to the west of the semi. =20

I saw single singing adult male Hooded & Cerulean warblers in Minnehaha
Park, which is on the east side of Hwy 55 just north of Hwy 62; mid-morning
on Monday. They were both in the off-leash dog park; the Hooded right at
the entrance gate near the parking lot north of the 54th St. exit off 55,
the Cerulean about 1/4 mile in from the gate, along one of the paths
paralleling the Mississippi in the river bottoms. (It's hard to give a good
reference, let me know if you're interested.)
These were the high point of my May birding (which isn't saying much given
the truly abysmal migration).
