The GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE is now into its fourth month visiting the feeder in the town of Mountain Lake, Cottonwood County and it was seen as recently as the 4th. From state highway 60, exit onto 3rd Avenue and drive to 10th Street. Turn north on 10th street and drive to the edge of town to a cemetery and lake on the left. The feeder is in front of the pale green house, which is the second to the last building on the right side of the road. Bob Williams was in Mahnomen County on the 30th and found three SHORT-EARED OWLS at the Rush WMA just northeast of the town of Mahnomen. Two birds were on the south side of the WMA and one was just north of it. On March 30th, there was still a TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE at the Carpenter Nature Center in Washington County. The location was described as being near the park's lodge. On April 4th and again today, a VARIED THRUSH was in Duluth, in with a group of American Robins at the feeders near 21st Avenue East between Jefferson and Greysolon Roads. Denny Martin found a GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE at Mud Lake in Watonwan County on the 1st. And despite the recent cold snap, I have new reports of LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE, BROWN CREEPER, WINTER WREN, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, and an early LE CONTE'S SPARROW. The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, April 12th 2007. --====1175821100==== Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <html> <PRE> -RBA *Minnesota *Minnesota Statewide *April 5, 2007 *MNST0704.05 </PRE> -Birds mentioned <UL> <LI>Short-eared Owl <LI>Loggerhead Shrike <LI>Brown Creeper <LI>Winter Wren <LI>Ruby-crowned Kinglet <LI>Townsend's Solitaire <LI>Varied Thrush <LI>Green-tailed Towhee <LI>Le Conte's Sparrow <LI>Great-tailed Grackle </UL> -Transcript <P> <strong>Hotline:</strong> Minnesota Statewide<br> <strong>Date:</strong> April 5, 2007<br> <strong>Sponsor:</strong> Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) http://moumn.org<br> <strong>Reports:</strong> (763) 780-8890<br> <strong>Compiler:</strong> Anthony Hertzel ([email protected])<br> <P> This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, April 5th 2007. <P> The <B style="color: #ad1a07">GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE</B> is now into its fourth month visiting the feeder in the town of Mountain Lake, Cottonwood County and it was seen as recently as the 4th.
