This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday October 11th, 2012.

There's been a SAY'S PHOEBE at the McQuade Road safe harbor along Scenic
Highway 61 northeast of Duluth since October 7th. It's most reliably
found near the restroom building.

On the 9th, a HARLEQUIN DUCK was on Lake Superior in Duluth just south
of Canal Park, and a RED-THROATED LOON was on the lake out from Park
Point near the Sky Harbor airport.

A CAROLINA WREN was in Rochester, Olmsted County on the 9th, along 7th
Avenue SW between 9th and 10th streets. This is likely one of the two
birds reported here since late August. Another Carolina Wren was in
Ramsey County on the 9th, along the 1900 block of Malvern Street in the
town of Lauderdale. And I have a late report of a Carolina Wren seen on
the 5th along Twin Bluffs Drive in Winona, Winona County.

EVENING GROSBEAKS were reported by several observers over the past week,
mostly in the northern quarter of the state, and the fall's first VARIED
THRUSH was banded at Hawk Ridge in Duluth on the 7th. An unusually late
WOOD THRUSH was seen on the 7th at the Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park in
northern Hennepin County. Other lingering migrants include OSPREY, GREAT
EGRET, BARN SWALLOW, SEDGE WREN, OVENBIRD, and MAGNOLIA WARBLER.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday October 18th, 2012.
