Hotline: Minnesota Statewide Date: March 6, 2008 Sponsor: Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) http://moumn.org Reports: (763) 780-8890 Compiler: Anthony Hertzel (axhertzel at sihope.com) This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, March 6th 2008. A male BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was still on the Mississippi River at Reads Landing in Wabasha County on the 1st. And a male HARLEQUIN DUCK was still on the river near the railroad bridge at U.S. Highway 10 in Washington County. Two SNOWY OWLS were reported recently from Polk County. From U.S. Highway 2 go three and a half miles west of state highway 32 to the small Gravel company building, then turn south. You can follow the road to county road 45. I have no information as to how far down this road the birds were seen. In Anoka County, a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER was seen again on March 2nd at Bunker Hills Regional Park near Andover. The bird was seen in the trees along the east side of "A" road about a quarter of a mile north of the Bunker Beach water park. The TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE that has been behind the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul was still present on the 3rd. Migrants reported in the past week include GREAT BLUE HERON, KILLDEER, HORNED LARK, EASTERN BLUEBIRD, and HARRIS'S SPARROW. The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, March 13th 2008. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
