This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, May 17,
2012 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.

Birds continue to pour north at a quick pace now that the wind has gone
to the south and southwest. New this week are many of the insect eaters
such as flycatcher, vireos, and some new warblers. Trees are almost
fully leafed out, and warbler watching is difficult, and will be even
more so if we get rain.

ORCHARD ORIOLE, BALTIMORE ORIOLE, and ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK on May 10.
