This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, October 12,
2017 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.

With the windy weather of the past few days, and the temperatures
flirting with frost, most of the colored leaves have come down, leaving
the yellows of the aspens, and the reds of the sumacs and cranberry
bushes. Most of the area has had at least a light frost. We are seeing
the end of the passerine migration now with AMERICAN ROBINS, DARK-EYED
JUNCOS, and RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS passing through in large flocks.
NORTHERN FLICKERS have largely gone already, and sparrow migration is in
full swing with all the resident sparrows being reported and also those
from northern nesting areas.

Keith Corliss reported a PHILADELPHIA VIREO at Lake Bemidji SP in
Beltrami County on October 4.

Two small flocks of SMITH'S LONGSPURS were reported by Keith flying over
the Thief River Falls lagoons in Pennington County on October 6. Here at
the feeder, today I had WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS , DARK-EYED JUNCOS, and
a HARRIS’S SPARROW.

Sandy Aubol observed a SHARP-SHINNED HAWK in her yard in western Polk
County on October 12. Heidi Hughes reported at least a 1000 SANDHILL
CRANES staging in a field along 280th Ave. NW at 190th St. NW this week.

A BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER was seen by Patrick Beauzay in Clay County on
October 7.

From Hubbard County, Marshall Howe reported ten RED CROSSBILLS on
October 7 that seemed different from the locally breeding ones. Both
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS and GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS were seen that day. On
October 8th, he reported at least nine different species of sparrow
moving through, and on October 9, he saw RED-TAILED HAWKS and one
BROAD-WINGED HAWK. By the 10th the warblers and kinglets were getting
scarce, but the sparrows remained.

Wayne Perala in Otter Tail County on October 5th was already reporting
HARRIS'S SPARROW, WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, and FOX SPARROWS. On October
12, Alice Martin observed PINE SISKINS, DARK-EYED JUNCOS, EURASIAN
COLLARED-DOVE, SANDHILL CRANES, and AMERICAN ROBINS in eastern Otter
Tail County.

At the N. Ottawa impoundment in Grant County on October 10th, Wayne
Perala saw LINCOLN'S SPARROW, HARRIS’S SPARROW, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW,
and many SAVANNAH SPARROWS. He also reported probable WHITE-FACED IBIS,
LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER, BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERONS, and RUSTY BLACKBIRDS.
An ibis was also reported by Charlene Nelson at the WTP near Elbow Lake.
