This is the Minnesota Birding Report for September 15th, 2011.
In Duluth, a couple of jaegers — including a PARASITIC JAEGER — have
been seen periodically over Lake Superior from 43rd street south to the
end of Park Point.
On the 8th, a SUMMER TANAGER was reported from Douglas County, but I
have no other details.
The fall raptor migration at Hawk Ridge in Duluth has picked up
considerably, with about three thousand BROAD-WINGED HAWKS counted on
the 14th followed by almost thirteen thousand on the 15th. They've also
counted over eight thousand SHARP-SHINNED HAWKS there this fall.
Several new species of fall migrants have arrived in the state since the
last update of this report, including CACKLING GOOSE, SNOW GOOSE,
LAPLAND LONGSPUR, BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER, BLACKPOLL WARBLER, and
RUSTY BLACKBIRD.
The next scheduled update of this tape is September 22nd, 2011.
