This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, June 21,

This is turning into a very hot, humid week in the northwest. That
doesn't seem to deter the birds, and there are beginning to be lots of
bugs to feed nestlings. The yards and woods are loud with the unfamiliar
calls of begging baby birds.

During a breeding bird survey in Lake of the Woods County, Beth Siverhus
found MARBLED GODWITS, and LINCOLN'S SPARROW on June 21.

In the Roseau part of Beltrami Island State Forest, Beth found
SHARP-TAILED GROUSE, RUFFED GROUSE, and RED CROSSBILLS. In the Palsburg
burn area she found many INDIGO BUNTINGS, and EASTERN BLUEBIRDS. Other
species tallied in that part of Roseau County included WESTERN
MEADOWLARK, LE CONTE'S SPARROW, FIELD SPARROW, LINCOLN’S SPARROW,
SCARLET TANAGER, and BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER. CASPIAN TERNS were
seen on Lake of the Woods; MARBLED GODWIT and a ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK were
also seen in the county.

The MOU weekend birding group were in Clearwater and Beltrami Counties
last weekend. In Clearwater County at the rice paddies east of CR 5 they
found two AMERICAN AVOCETS, 20 plus WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPERS, MARBLED
GODWIT, WILSON'S PHALAROPES, and several AMERICAN BLACK DUCKS. At Upper
Rice Lake 105 TRUMPETER SWANS and 69 RED-NECKED GREBES were counted.

In Beltrami County, the MOU group found BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER,
CONNECTICUT WARBLER, OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER,
and RED CROSSBILLS. Four DICKCISSELS were found along Sunnyside Road
south of Power Dam Road.

In Pennington County, Allyson Engelstad reported RED-TAILED HAWK,
NORTHERN HARRIER, SANDHILL CRANES and EASTERN BLUEBIRDS. Today I noticed
baby GRAY CATBIRDS, and CHIPPING SPARROWS begging in our yard.

At the Agassiz Impoundment that straddles the Marshall- Polk County line
on June 15, I found the CINNAMON TEAL previously reported to be still
there hanging out with the BLUE-WINGED TEALS. Also there on the Marshall
County side was a GREAT EGRET.

On the Polk County side of the impoundment, along with the CINNAMON TEAL
, I heard many DICKCISSELS and BOBOLINKS in the field south of the
impoundment, as well as many YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRDS along the water's
edge. At least one pair of the many DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS appeared
to be nesting in the dead trees in the impoundment. At Rydell NWR , also
in Polk County, Allyson Engelstad found TRUMPETER SWANS with cygnets, a
GREAT HORNED OWL, and PIED-BILLED GREBE among other species.

At Felton Prairie, in Clay County, Kimberley Emerson and John Hockema
discovered a SAY'S PHOEBE on June 16. It was hanging out on one of the
buildings that can be seen from the road.

Wayne Perala saw a BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON in Fergus Falls, Otter Tail
County, on June 21.

In Grant County, Wayne found LE CONTE'S SPARROW, DICKCISSELS, BOBOLINKS,
WILSON’S PHALAROPES, AMERICAN GOLDEN-PLOVER, and GREAT EGRETS at the
North Ottawa Impoundment on June 21. There were few shorebirds there
today.
