This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 10,
2014 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.

Summer seems to have arrived in the northwest after a bumpy ride. With
the heat and the advancing calendar, most of the sightings are of baby
birds this week, and the heat seems to have kept some folks inside this
week.

In Polk County, Sandy Aubol reported a COMMON NIGHTHAWK over the city of
East Grand Forks on June 25. That would suggest that there might be at
least one pair nesting in the vicinity. She also found a family of
WESTERN GREBES with young at the Agassiz Valley Impoundments on the Polk
County side. On July 3, Vicki Stolz in Fisher reported BALTIMORE ORIOLES
and ORCHARD ORIOLES back at the feeders by July 3. Sandy Aubol had a
PINE SISKIN at the feeder in East Grand Forks on July 4, the first time
in a long while that she has seen one. A NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW
was heard singing on the east side of 260th Ave a half mile north of CR
23 on July 5.

Sandy Aubol found two WESTERN GREBES at the Agassiz Valley Impoundment
on the Marshall County side on June 25. Cliff Steinhauer reported a
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD nesting under the eaves of his house near the
western side of Agassiz NWR on July 8.

Here in Pennington County, the ORCHARD ORIOLE that has been visiting our
feeder east of Thief River Falls returned for a day after an absence of
about a week but has not been back since. A RED-HEADED WOODPECKER has
been coming to the feeder almost every day, and seems to have succeeded
in chasing away the RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER that was coming regularly
also. The latter has not been seen for about a week now.

I made a trip to the Beltrami Island State Forest in Lake of the Woods
county on July 4, where I found the flycatchers were very active. I
found EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, LEAST FLYCATCHERS, and GREAT-CRESTED
FLYCATCHERS very common there. Other species seen there included HERMIT
THRUSH, many CEDAR WAXWINGS, and WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS. Warblers heard
singing included OVENBIRD, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER, MOURNING WARBLER,
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, YELLOW WARBLER, CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, PINE
WARBLER, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, and BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER.

Thanks to Cliff Steinhauer, Sandy Aubol, and Vicki Stolz for their
reports.

2014
