This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 18th, 2010.

As is the previous few weeks no unusual species have been called in.
Spring migrants, however, continue to be reported daily.

Flocks of both TUNDRA SWAN and TRUMPETER SWAN have been moving northward
across the southern half of Minnesota.

Good numbers of both CANADA GEESE and GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE have
been reported as well along with a few SNOW GEESE, CACKLING GEESE and
ROSS'S GEESE.
GREAT BLUE HERONS are already on nests at a few southeastern rookeries.

A LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was reported on the 18th from Fillmore County, two
days earlier than its median arrival date. Very early was the
BROAD-WINGED HAWK seen at the Lowry Nature Center in Carver County on
the 14th.

Other arrivals have been DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT, TURKEY VULTURE,
KILLDEER, AMERICAN WOODCOCK, NORTHERN HARRIER, BELTED KINGFISHER,
EASTERN BLUEBIRD, SONG SPARROW, SWAMP SPARROW, CHIPPING SPARROW, LAPLAND
LONGSPUR, RUSTY BLACKBIRD, and COMMON GRACKLE.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, March 25th, 2010.
