It sure feels like fall now in the northwest. We are promised a little
warm weather yet this week, but the signs are there that it may be
short-lived. Birds are migrating quickly now, and every day we see more
and more of the species that nest further north, and the young raptors
can be seen on many power poles in the late afternoon. There are many
pine siskins at feeders at this time, the first time this year that we
have seen many of these. Birding has been somewhat slow due to the wet
windy weather of late, but we are starting to see warblers coming
through. It appears that some have overflown the northwest as birders to
our south are reporting them in waves. Ruby throated hummingbirds are
still around in most or all of the counties of the northwest.

From Beltrami County, Douglas Johnson reported LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL
at Nymore boat landing in Bemidji on September 13th.
