Fall weather has descended on the northwest this week -dare we hope for
a short reprieve next week? Seriously, the cool weather was welcomed by
most, but we would have liked some rain too. Migration is moving along
quickly, and color is starting to appear on the trees.

Lake, Grant County on September 2. Also seen there were several LEAST
FLYCATCHERS and in Perham, a EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVE.

and a DARK-EYED JUNCO, and heard RED CROSSBILLS on August 31. On
September 1, he reported NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER.
A BROWN CREEPER was seen on September 3, and on the 5th, a BLACK-BILLEE
CUCKOO, and several RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES.

across from the C-Store in Red Lake Falls in Red Lake County on

shorebirds at the Red Lake Falls WTP including LESSER YELLOWLEGS, STILT
SANDPIPER, DUNLIN, SANDERLING, SEMIPALMATED PLOVER, KILLDEER, WILSON'S
SNIPE, SOLITARY SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, PECTORAL SANDPIPER,
and SPOTTED SANDPIPER. Shelley Steva and I saw an OSPREY and

In Roseau County on September 1, Shelley Steva found 10 RED CROSSBILLS
at DNR headquarters in Wannaska; two SOLITARY SANDPIPERS and one
SWAINSON'S THRUSH were seen at Hayes Lake SP.

Warroad, a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER in Warroad city park, and a cooperative
