This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, April 27,
2017 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You

We , in common with the rest of the state, have had a setback for spring
migration. The cold and snow of the past two days has grounded many
migrants, and we are hoping that the mortality has not been too great.
The forecast holds a promise of warmer weather by the weekend.

A PEREGRINE FALCON was seen by Beth Siverhus in Lake of the Woods County
between Norris Camp and the campground in the Beltrami Island State
Forest this week. Other species seen there included BROAD-WINGED HAWK,
TURKEY VULTURE, and RED-TAILED HAWK.

In Roseau County, Beth Siverhus reported a GREAT GRAY OWL along the
Roosevelt-Norris Road south of MN 11 . Also in Roseau County, she
reported DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT, BELTED KINGFISHER, RED-BELLIED
WOODPECKER, EASTERN PHOEBE, both RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET and GOLDEN-CROWNED
