Five were seen on 5/8/12 on the north east side of the Agassiz Valley Impoundment along the Marshall and Polk County border by myself, Katie Haws (MN DNR Nongame) and Lee Pfannmuller and Mark Martell of Minnesota Audubon. The birds were no longer present on 5/9/12. I am assuming they were blown in by the storm. Range was between 30 and 40 yards.
We also had a single Bonaparte's Gull and American White Pelican at the impoundment. Upland Sandpiper was heard 5 American Bitterns were seen at Goose Lake IBA (Pennington), Sedge Wrens, Soras, Marsh Wrens, and a Virginia Rail were heard 1 Peregrine Falcon at the Euclid East Impoundment 2 miles east of Euclid Bobolinks, Least Flycatchers, Wilson's Phalaropes, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, Soras, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, and many warblers have returned to the area 5/9 at the Agassiz Valley Impoundment: Western Willet Least Sandpiper Dunlin Marbled Godwit Lesser Yellowlegs Greater Yellowlegs Killdeer Wilson's Phalarope American Pipit At Audubon Center: Cape May Warbler Orange-crowned Warbler Birds for 5/10 at the Audubon Center south of Warren: Canada Goose Mallard Wood Duck Blue-winged Teal Hooded Merganser Turkey Vulture Red-tailed Hawk Northern Harrier American Kestrel Mourning Dove Ruby-throated Hummingbird Downy Woodpecker Eastern Phoebe Eastern Kingbird Least Flycatcher Blue-headed Vireo American Crow Common Raven Tree Swallow Barn Swallow House Wren Ruby-crowned Kinglet American Robin Veery Gray-cheeked Thrush Swainson's Thrush Hermit Thrush Brown Thrasher European Starling Tennessee Warbler Nashville Warbler Yellow Warbler Magnolia Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Palm Warbler Black-and-white Warbler American Redstart Northern Waterthrush Common Yellowthroat Rose-breasted Grosbeak Chipping Sparrow Clay-colored Sparrow Song Sparrow Lincoln's Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Harris's Sparrow White-crowned Sparrow White-throated Sparrow Baltimore Oriole Red-winged Blackbird Common Grackle Brown-headed Cowbird American Goldfinch Pine Siskin Bill Blackburn Minnesota Audubon Warren, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
