Minnesota -Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Duluth) -Tropical/Couch's Kingbird (Duluth) -Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (N of Duluth) -Great Gray Owl (Twin Cities) Wisconsin -Say's Phoebe (found Sat., Sheboygan, L. Michigan) -possible Inca Dove (Ozaukee County, N of Milwaukee) Illinois -Sage Thrasher (Sat., Chicago) -Green-tailed Towhee (Chicago, couple + weeks ago) (On topic, but a bit out of range, an Ash-throated Flycatcher even made it to Maine last week) Keep your eyes open!
