Migration was still going on with some of the last migrants now showing up plus a few other birds. Best birds were: Eastern Meadowlark in Renville County, seen along Sioux trail about three miles west of Renville Co. 6 where it crosses MN River. In same field were Grasshopper Sparrows, Bobolink, and my first of the year Dickcissel. In both Renville and Redwood Co. had a Swainson's Hawk drifting in the valley. Had 10 species of Warbler including a Bay-breasted, many Tennessee, at least 6 Blackpoll, 4 species of Verio including a Philadelphia, five flycatchers including a Yellow-bellied all in my Mothers yard in Cottonwood. Also added my 230th yard bird(s) with a flock of 7 Common terns feeding on Cottonwood Lake within 10 feet of shore so could easily see the red bill. Orchard Orioles were just starting to show up and saw a flock of 23 Eastern Kingbirds come flying a cross a plowed field. Also had Olive-sided Flycatchers in three locations. Shorebirds were scarce, but did have a Turnstone on the Echo sewage ponds.
