This has been a typical summer week in the northwest- warm, sometimes
hot, sunny days with a few thundershowers mixed in. Bird activity has
been primarily raising and feeding the babies which are appearing
everywhere. Feeders are busy with parents trying to teach their young
how to use them.

A BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE was seen by Emily Patterson in Douglas County at
Osakis on July 20th.

Wayne Perala reported an UPLAND SANDPIPER at the North Ottawa
Impoundment in Grant County on July 13th.

At Grove Lake near Pelican Rapids in Otter Tail County, Emily McCune saw
a SCARLET TANAGER on July 14th.

A HERRING GULL was spotted by Coleen and Dan Koll at Many Point Spillway
in Becker County on July 16th.

From Polk County, Sandy Aubol reported that the RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS
are once again nesting in the campground at East Grand Forks. Russ
Wilbur observed twenty-eight TURKEY VULTURES roosting in a tree on the
MN side of the Red River across from Lincoln Park holding pond on July
23rd.

Here in Pennington County I spotted a MERLIN sitting on the peak of the
roof of the Wired Bean Coffee house building this morning, July 26th.
