This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Wednesday, September 15th. On the 15th, Mike Henderickson found a juvenile SABINE'S GULL in Duluth on the bayside of Lake Superior just west of the Park Point ball fields. It has not been reported since but may still be in the area. Also along Park Point the were four unidentified JAEGERS, one was over Lake Superior at 12th street and three were near the Sky Harbor airport. On the 15th, Jim Pomplun found a CAROLINA WREN at the Old Cedar Bridge in Hennepin County. It was across the water from the first opening along Hog Back Ridge Trail just east of the parking lot. Four BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS were found at Jirik's Sod Farm in Dakota County on the 11th. Jirik's Sod Farm is on Dakota County Road 79 about half a mile south of its intersection with Dakota County Road 66. A juvenile YELLOW-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON was seen on the 11th at the Pigs Eye area of the Mississippi River in southern Ramsey County. From Interstate 494, exit on Maxwell Street and go north. When the road comes to a T, turn left and follow the curve to the right where the street becomes Red Rock Road. The bird was in a pond here on the right. Interesting was the juvenile ROSS'S GOOSE found September 9th in a farm field about a quarter of a mile west of the junction of state highway 1 and Koochiching County Road 14. I have no recent reports of the TOWNSEND'S WARBLER seen last weekend at Linwood Lake in Anoka County, nor of the RED PHALAROPE found on the 11th at the north end of Salt Lake in Lac Qui Parle County. The warbler was last reported on the 11th, and the phalarope on the 12th. This state-wide birding report is brought to you and financially supported by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU).
