This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 26,
2010 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.
This has been a quiet week as far as sightings go, and the weather has
been extremely variable like most transition seasons. We escaped frost
once or twice this week, so perhaps we can hope for a couple more weeks
frost free. Migration seems to be slowly gathering speed, but surely
isn't in full swing yet.
John Ellis reported seeing flocks of migrating COMMON NIGHTHAWKS in
Douglas County last weekend. Among the warblers he spotted were a
juvenile CERULEAN WARBLER, as well as TENNESSEE WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER, NASHVILLE WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER, AMERICAN REDSTART, WILSON'S
WARBLER, and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT. Among the flycatchers he saw was an
OLIVESIDED FLYCATCHER. A few hundred FRANKLIN'S GULLS were also seen.
Sandy Aubol in Polk County reported RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, AMERICAN
REDSTART, and WILSON'S WARBLER on August 23 at her home in East Grand
Forks.
Here in Pennington County east of Thief River Falls, an OLIVE-SIDED
FLYCATCHER stopped in our yard for a few minutes, the first I have
noticed in the yard in 23 years.
Thanks to John Ellis and Sandy Aubol for their reports.
Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than
Thursday each week, at [log in to unmask] OR call the Detroit Lakes
