This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, November 25,
2016 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.
After the snow that arrived on Tuesday, the weather in the northwest has
been mild and foggy, and most of the snow has melted. Not much bird
activity has been reported.
A large number of CANADA GEESE of mixed subspecies is still hanging
around Thief River Falls as we still have open water in the rivers and
the lagoons. From our yard we have seen several BALD EAGLES this week,
and today we are having a visit from the RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER.
Otherwise it is still pretty quiet.
A SANDHILL CRANE was reported in Hubbard County on November 19 by
Rebecca Engdahl. Marshall Howe observed more than 20 RED CROSSBILLS in
Dorset this week. He also saw BONAPARTE'S GULL, and DARK-EYED JUNCOS.
From Otter Tail County, Alma Ronningen reported BALD EAGLE, PILEATED
WOODPECKER, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, AMERICAN TREE SPARROW, BROWN
CREEPER, and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD as well as the more common feeder
species. Kathleen MacAulay found three LONG-TAILED DUCKS on Otter Tail
Lake on November 24. A BELTED KINGFISHER was reported by Wayne Perala on
November 18, and on the 22nd he saw WOOD DUCK, HOODED MERGANSER, COMMON
MERGANSER, and COMMON GOLDENEYE in Fergus Falls.
Thanks to all who reported their sightings this week.
