This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, October 8,
2015 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.

Fall has definitely come now. Leaves are starting to pile up in the
yards, and in the northwest trees are getting yellower. A few reds here
and there sparkle in the woods. The mixture of species is changing : the
warblers and flycatchers are gone and the late migrants are appearing.

From Grant County in the southernmost part of my area, Charlene Nelson
reported two pairs of SNOW BUNTINGS in Elbow Lake on October 4. I hope
that isn't an omen of much cold to come.

Marshall Howe in Hubbard County reported HARRIS'S SPARROW, LINCOLN’S
SPARROW, and SWAMP SPARROW on October 4, and a PEREGRINE FALCON in Park
Rapids on October 5. On October 6, he had DARK-EYED JUNCOS,
WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and PIED-BILLED GREBE. On October 7, he saw a
GOLDEN EAGLE and several BALD EAGLES feeding on a deer carcass.

Here in Pennington County, the first WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and HARRIS'S
SPARROW joined the WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS and PURPLE FINCHES feeding
under our feeder on October 8.

Dana Jenkins reported BALD EAGLES feeding on a deer carcass along CR 7
in Marshall County on October 8.

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
Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders

2015
