We have had the first week of summer weather this week in the northwest.
It has become increasingly obvious that migration is almost over. New
arrivals are way down, and the local nesters are very busy and noisy
now.

From Lake of the Woods County, Gretchen Mehmel reported a COMMON RAVEN
nesting at the Norris Camp picnic grounds, a BELTED KINGFISHER nest at
the Norris Camp pond, GRAY JAY nestlings at the Norris Camp feeders,
HERMIT THRUSHES and WHIP-POOR-WILLS being heard in the area.

WHIP-POOR-WILL on May 22 in Warroad.

reported by Gary Tischer in Marshall County on May 24.

In Pennington County, Gary Tischer reported that Beth Iliff had a
YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD in her yard in Thief River Falls on May 25, and

RED-HEADED WOODPECKER in the yard on May 22; a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO ,
RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, and CEDAR WAXWING were here on May 25. Also on
May 25, I went to Hickory Township where I found GOLDEN-WINGED WARBLERS
where they have nested for several years. Other species seen there
included CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER , BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER,
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, VEERY, and OVENBIRD. On May 28, I heard a COMMON
NIGHTHAWK go over the yard. The RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS have excavated a
new hole and appear to be nesting in our yard this year.

Forks on May 24. At Rydell NWR, he saw COMMON LOON, RED-NECKED GREBE,

the Agassiz Valley Impoundment on the Polk County side. They included
RUDDY TURNSTONES, WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER,
SPOTTED SANDPIPER, WILLET, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, and BLACK-BELLIED
PLOVER. She also saw AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN, FORSTER'S TERN, and BLACK
