There have been no Northwest Minnesota Birding Reports for the last
month due to the illness of my husband, but as he recovers, I will start
by summarizing the sightings of the last ten days or so. Many of these
birds, of course, will now be further north, but you can see when and
where they came through. Summer has come all of a sudden to northwest
Minnesota , and this week it has been in the high eighties and low
nineties. Birds are going about the business of raising their young.

Of interest on May 25, Noah Kuck found a WHIMBREL at the rice paddies
near Baudette in Lake of the Woods County.

Two RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS were reported in Roseau County in late May,
one of them at Malung south of Roseau.

ORCHARD ORIOLES were reported by Doug Johnson and Betty Lynne in Bemidji
in Beltrami County on May 27.

Here in the yard in Pennington County near Thief River Falls, two GRAY
CATBIRDS and a COMMON NIGHTHAWK were seen; a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER and
GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER came in on June 1; on the 2nd, there were
EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE and WARBLING VIREO; and a BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO was
heard in the yard on June 6th. The first baby WOOD DUCKS were seen on
the river on June 7th.

From Polk County , Heidi Hughes reported a DARK-EYED JUNCO at the
Audubon Center feeders on June 2nd. WESTERN TANAGER was also reported
there in May 27th.

SAY'S PHOEBE was found at the MSUM Science Center in Clay County on May
28, and has been reported there as recently as June 6 near the abandoned
clubhouse. Please do not enter the clubhouse as it is slated for
demolition later this summer.

This week Marshall Howe reported ORCHARD ORIOLE in Hubbard County. A
PROTHONOTARY WARBLER was found by Becca Engdahl at Magical Swamp on West
Gulch FR on May 27th. An EASTERN SCREECH OWL was heard in Paul Bunyan
State Forest at Mantrap Lake on May 26th.

Charlene Nelson reporting from Grant County, saw a BOBOLINK on June1st,
and a BLUE-HEADED VIREO on June 3rd.
