10/6/03 Spend most of the day birding in Kittson County today, but finished at the Warren Sewage Ponds in Marshall County. Where I observed a single Immature or female Surf Scoter. The Snow Geese are moving and were observed in about a dozen locations and I began to encounter my first flocks of Longspurs as well. I began my day with a very cooperative Sharp-tailed Grouse along Hyw 59 at the intersection with Marshall County Road 5. Here are some of the sightings from my day of birding in Kittson County. @ Snow Goose @ Surf Scoter @ Ruffed Grouse - Twin Lakes WMA @ Spotted Sandpiper - Karlstad Sewage Ponds @ American Golden Plover - 100+ at the Hallock Sewage Ponds @ Red-headed Woodpecker @ Bohemian Waxwing - observed in 3 locations around the town of Karlstad @ American Pipit - small numbers observed at most of the sewage ponds I visited @ American Tree Sparrow - A single bird was observed at the Kennedy Cemetery Craig Mandel - [email protected] - Minnetonka, MN -------------------------------1065621076 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><HEAD> <META charset=3DUTF-8 http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charse= t=3Dutf-8"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1264" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fffff= f"> <DIV>10/6/03</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Spend most of the day birding in Kittson County today, but finished at=20= the Warren Sewage Ponds in Marshall County.
