This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, September
25, 2014 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.

The last of the big groups of passerines are moving through now, and the
bulk of them this week have been YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS, NORTHERN
FLICKERS , RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. Leaves are
turning and starting to fall, and it has been reported that the colors
are a little under peak now. That will change rapidly when the cooler
temperatures arrive during the next week or so.

A GREAT EGRET was reported by Paul Clay along the river near Hallock,
Kittson County, on September 22.

Last weekend, a large group of RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS were seen in our
yard east of Thief River Falls in Pennington County. HERMIT THRUSH,
SWAINSON'S THRUSH, RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, WOOD DUCK and a few warblers
were seen on September 21. Today I spotted a BALD EAGLE soaring over the
town, and in the yard there were numerous YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS,
NORTHERN FLICKERS, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. A family of EASTERN
BLUEBIRDS came to the bird bath.

From Polk County, Emily Hutchins reported DARK-EYED JUNCOS and
WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS on September 25. Russ Wilber saw 4 BROAD-WINGED
HAWKS and two TURKEY VULTURES soaring over the campground in East Grand
Forks on September 22, and a BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE on September 23. Sandy
Aubol reported a large flight of migrating FRANKLIN'S GULLS over East
Grand Forks on September 20. That day she observed in her yard 32
WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and the numbers grew to over 70 by September 21.
She also saw 3 HARRIS’S SPARROWS, two WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS, DARK-EYED
JUNCO, and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS. On September 22 there were LINCOLN’S
SPARROW, FOX SPARROW, and PINE SISKINS, and she saw a BAY-BREASTED
WARBLER on September 24.

Alma Ronningen echoed the reports above on September 25 as she reported
numbers of migrating YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKERS and NORTHERN FLICKERS in
Dent, Ottertail County.

Charlene Nelson reported RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS in Grant County on
September 23.

Thanks to Alma Ronningen, Charlene Nelson, Emily Hutchins, Paul Clay,
