I have observed an adult eating from my suit feeder in St. Paul and there have
been two common ground
doves ground feeding below my feeders. Are these sightings unusual for late
November? I have photos. Bill----- Original Message -----

I stopped at the viewing platform as well as a little bit further south, =

the birds were closer to the road last Friday afternoon. The weather in W=

has been quite good so far, so I doubt the river will freeze over at leas=
t in the=20
next few days. There were thousands of tundra swans, as well as mallards,=

green-winged teal, and pintail. By the time I got there, there was about =
15=20
minutes of daylight left, so I didn't get to see much more than that, tho=
ugh I=20
assume there are other ducks there.

As I type , a Yellow-rumped Warbler is feeding from our feeders at a temp of
about +6 and winds of 20-30 MPH! Hope he makes it.

Subject: Cape May W arbler - E dina=?windows-1256?Q?=FE?= stil l there
The Cape May warbler in Edina at 5410 York was actually feeding on the feeder
when I arrived at 2:45pm. It was very windy and frigid so the bird must have to
eat a lot of peanuts just to stay alive. I have never seen a bird look so cold
before! I did a little research in the Peterson guide to warblers and I guess
this is the second most likely warbler in many northern climates this time of
year after the Yellow-rumped Warbler. It also says that most of the stray Cape
May's do not typically survive through December which was a little sad. Lets
hope that this one can make it. Great find!
Happy Thanksgiving,

Hotline: Minnesota, Detroit Lakes
Date: November 25, 2010
Sponsor: Lakes Area Birding Club, Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce
Reports: 1-800-542-3992 (weekdays during business hours)
Compiler: Jeanie Joppru ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>)
This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, November
25, 2010 sponsored by the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce.
You may also hear this report by calling (218)847-5743 or
1-800-433-1888.
What a difference a week makes! The northland is blindingly white now,
and temperatures are hovering in the single digits. The snow has come
nicely, with little of the great wind that was forecast, and it lies
deep on everything. Feeders have been busy in the past few days, and a
few late migrants have found themselves in unfamiliar circumstances.
Sightings of the unusual category include the SUMMER TANAGER found by
Ron Erpelding in Greenbush, Roseau County on November 19. It was not
relocated after that day. On November 22, Larry Wilebski reported a
VARIED THRUSH in fruit trees in Lancaster, Kittson County. Location is
north of the railroad tracks- best place is north of Bergstrom's gas
station- anywhere there are crabapple trees with fruit on them. This
afternoon, November 25, I observed a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER feeding at
one of our bird feeders east of Thief River Falls, Pennington County.
Ron Erpelding made as swing through the northwest last weekend, and many
of the sightings this week are his. He found BALD EAGLES, NORTHERN
HARRIERS, and ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS in most of the counties in the
northwest.
A NORTHERN SHRIKE, 5 SNOW BUNTINGS, and 3 AMERICAN ROBINS were seen in
Roseau County on November 20.
CEDAR WAXWINGS were found in Gonvick, Clearwater County on November 18.
A large flock of TUNDRA SWANS were on the rice paddies northeast of
Gonvick.
On November 20 , in Kittson County a RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was
relocated in Karlstad. Other species seen in the county included
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS and 4 AMERICAN ROBINS in Karlstad, and 5 SNOW
BUNTINGS, 5 PINE GROSBEAKS, COMMON REDPOLLS, and 3 PURPLE FINCHES at
Lake Bronson State Park.
Maggie Anderson at Agassiz NWR reported that on November 13, a family of
TRUMPETER SWANS with 2 cygnets was seen on Tamarac Pool. Many
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, and a SHORT-EARED OWL were also seen. An immature
SNOWY OWL was seen on November 18 at Farmes Pool. Other species seen at
the refuge in the past week included TUNDRA SWANS, HOODED MERGANSER,
BALD EAGLE, SNOW BUNTINGS, and PINE SISKINS. Ron Erpelding found
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS at Middle River on November 19.
In Thief River Falls, Pennington County, Ron Erpelding found a few
BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS on November 20. A RED-BREASTED MERGANSER was seen in a
sliver of open water at the wastewater treatment ponds.
In Red Lake County, species seen on November 20 included NORTHERN
SHRIKE, a GREAT HORNED OWL, 6 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS east of MN 32 on a dead
end road, and 3 CEDAR WAXWINGS in the town of Red Lake Falls.
Sandy Aubol in East Grand Forks, Polk County, had a NORTHERN SHRIKE in
their yard on November 23. Karen Suldahl saw CEDAR WAXWINGS and
DARK-EYED JUNCOS in Climax on November 24. Donna and Leon Thoreson
reported BALD EAGLE, ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, AMERICAN CROWS, and BLACK-BILLED
MAGPIES all feeding on a deer carcass at their home. 100 SNOW BUNTINGS
and a LINCOLN'S SPARROW are visiting their feeders.
NORTHERN SHRIKE, and LAPLAND LONGSPURS were observed in Mahnomen County
on November 20.
In Becker County, Beau Shroyer found 100 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS on the shore
of Big Detroit Lake across from Sunrise Lane on November 22. There were
COMMON GOLDENEYES on the lake.
A NORTHERN CARDINAL was seen at the visitor center at Itasca SP on
November 21. 30 COMMON MERGANSERS were seen on Lake George. A flock of
COMMON REDPOLLS was seen in Hubbard County by Marshall Howe.
Thanks to Beau Shroyer, Donna and Leon Thoreson, Karen Suldahl, Larry
Wilebski, Maggie Anderson, Marshall Howe, Ron Erpelding, and Sandy Aubol
for their reports.
Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than
Thursday each week, at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> OR call the
Detroit Lakes
Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders

place. The next scheduled update of this report is Thursday, December 2,
2010.
