This is the Minnesota Birding Report for September 9th, 2010.
Since the 6th, a few PARASITIC JAEGERS have been seen over Lake Superior near Duluth, but so far they have all been in Wisconsin waters.
Three ROSS'S GEESE were seen by Kim Eckert on the 3rd at the Greenbush sewage ponds in Roseau County. A juvenile YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was found on the previous day in Warroad, Roseau County, in a pond at the campground just past the casino.
I have several new reports of southbound migrants, including PHILADELPHIA VIREO, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, SWAINSON'S THRUSH, WILSON'S WARBLER, LINCOLN'S SPARROW, and WHITE-THROATED SPARROW.
The next scheduled update of this tape is September 16th, 2010.
