Most of the migrants have left the northwest now leaving only the
waterfowl to move through. A few late migrants are still being seen, but
numbers are greatly reduced. Weather has been cool during the past few
days, and tonight there were a few snowflakes.

Gary Tischer observed 8 WESTERN GREBES on Detroit Lake in Becker County
on October 20. At Tamarac NWR, Bruce Flaig found more than 100 TRUMPETER
SWANS on October 22.

At Agassiz NWR in Marshall County, Gregg Knutsen saw a pair of TUNDRA
SWANS with two cygnets late last week. Several BALD EAGLES are being
seen on the refuge and DARK-EYED JUNCOS are visiting the office feeders.

From Roseau County, Beth Siverhus reported a GREATER YELLOWLEGS in
Warroad on October 24.

Thanks to Beth Siverhus, Bruce Flaig, Gary Tischer, and Gregg and Lynda
