After last week's rain, all is green in the northwest, and crops seem to
be jumping out of the ground. The crop of baby birds also increases
daily. Adult birds are starting to look harassed and are bustling about
feeding their young. Flowers of all kinds are blooming . Now is the time
to be looking if you are interested in wildflowers. The showy lady’s
slippers should be soon blooming in the roadsides of northern Minnesota.

The N. Ottawa impoundment in Grant County does not disappoint. This week
Charlene Nelson found that the AMERICAN AVOCETS there now have a chick.

A FERRUGINOUS HAWK was reported by Vern Bothwell on June 13 at Buffalo
River State Park in Clay County.

Keith Watson found an EASTERN MEADOWLARK at Glacial Ridge NWR in Polk
County on June 12.

From Pennington County, Allyson Engelstad saw 5 TURKEY VULTURES in one
tree on June 12. On the 13th, she saw and photographed a BROWN THRASHER.
A SCARLET TANAGER was heard from our yard on June 12.

The CINNAMON TEAL reported earlier is still being seen along the western
edge of the Agassiz Impoundment in both Marshall and Polk Counties near
the county line. Also there are BLACK TERNS. On the Polk County side on
June 8, we saw BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON, AMERICAN BITTERN , and a
WILLOW FLYCATCHER.

Two NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRDS were seen in the northwest this week. Becca
Engdahl observed one in Beltrami County near Grygla on June 9, and on
June 10th, one was spotted in Karlstad, Kittson County, by Jonathan
Eerkes.

Chamber's numbers 218-847-5743 or 218- 847-9202. Please include the
