The heat has broken in the northwest this week, but many folks are
cleaning up after the cold front went through with some violent weather.
Some bird species are continuing to gather, others are already arriving
from the north, and some are still feeding young.

From Grant County, Charlene Nelson reported many BALTIMORE ORIOLES at
the feeders this week, and a few returning migrant warblers are
returning. She reported NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, NASHVILLE WARBLER, and
CONNECTICUT WARBLER on August 19.

In Alexandria in Douglas County, Charlene saw a COMMON NIGHTHAWK fly
over the city on August 15.

Sandy Aubol in Polk County reported WILSON'S WARBLER and TENNESSEE
WARBLER in East Grand Forks on August 16. At the East Grand Forks WTP,
she reported many EARED GREBES with young of all sizes and several
RED-NECKED PHALAROPES. On August 17, she observed CANADA WARBLER,
CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER, WILSON’S WARBLER, BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER,
YELLOW WARBLER, WARBLING VIREO, RED-EYED VIREO, and BALTIMORE ORIOLE in
East Grand Forks. On August 20 she saw BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER. Emily
Hutchins and Christine Herwig found a variety of ducks including
BUFFLEHEAD, FRANKLIN’S GULLS, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, LESSER YELLOWLEGS,
KILLDEER, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, and CEDAR WAXWING among others at the
Erskine WTP on August 16.

At the Thief River Falls WTP in Pennington County, Emily Hutchins and
Christine Herwig found EARED GREBES, and BLACK TERNS among other
species.
