This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 22,
2013 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce. You
may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or 1-800-433-1888.

Migration appears to have barely started here in the northwest, or for
that matter in most areas. Birds are hard to find and only the residents
are being reported. A few migrant warblers are being reported from the
Red River Valley on both sides of the border between North Dakota and
Minnesota. RED-TAILED HAWKS seem to be on every pole lately, a testament
to a successful nesting season.

Jennifer Audette reported WILD TURKEYS along 145th Ave. near Viking in
Marshall County.

From Polk County, Sandy Aubol reported FRANKLIN'S GULLS and a COMMON
NIGHTHAWK in East Grand Forks on August 15.

Alma Ronningen in Dent , Otter Tail County, has a good mix of birds in
her yard including YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, HOUSE WREN, EASTERN
BLUEBIRD, GRAY CATBIRD, AMERICAN REDSTART, YELLOW WARBLER, COMMON
YELLOWTHROAT, ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, BALTIMORE ORIOLE, and PURPLE
FINCH. Elsewhere in the county, she reported OSPREYS with two young,
SANDHILL CRANES with one colt, and two pairs of TRUMPETER SWANS with
cygnets at Maplewood State Park.

Thanks to Jennifer Audette, Sandy Aubol, and Alma Ronningen for their
reports.
