Sax-Zim was full of birds on Saturday, with a couple of them being very special
for me. Here are the highlights:
I ran into Doug Kieser and Mark Ochs (I believe) at around 10:30 on Owl Ave.
They informed me that they had gotten great views of singing Connecticut
Warbler at the intersection o
Today (5/24) I saw a singing Bell's Vireo - which was originally found by Carol
Brysky on 5/23 - in a small area of trees and shrubs surrounded by grassland
acrosse Goodhue County 2 from the entrance to Frontenac State Park. I
heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo in the same area.

My Minn Birding Weekends group observed a singing male Henslow's
Sparrow this morning, 24 May, in western Pennington Co. It was <1/4
mile N of CR 3 on the E side of road which leads to Goose Lake WMA.
(This road is 1.8 miles W of CR 10 or 0.5 miles E of the Polk Co
line.) Kim Eckert

The yellow-breasted chat was re-found at Hyland Park Reserve at 5:15
this afternoon, at a trail intersection north of the visitors (not
nature) center. Though initially approached from the southwest, this
site is more easily accessed from the driveway that leads to the
overflow (Edgewood?) parking
Went to a demo bird banding session at Minneopa S.P. Group Campground
on Saturday. Dr. Merrill Frydendall, the bander, told me he had heard the
Kentucky Warbler last week, so I went with my sons, Alexander and Jesse
Ellis this morning and found him singing his heart out while foraging just

A Red-bellied Woodpecker was heard along the railroad tracks along the St.

I just spoke with Alma Ronningen and the birds visited sporadically
yesterday, never staying long and haven't been seen since this morning
before nine. However, she says that the feeder that they are coming to is
right outside the dining room window, and quite visible from the road or
from their sh
Alma Ronnigen emailed me this morning to let me know that she has a pair of
Lazuli Buntings coming to her feeder today in Dent, MN. I have not yet had
opportunity to call her to find out what the rules will be for viewing
these birds. Will keep you posted.

BlankPark at Lock and Dam Number 2 on the Mississippi River in Hastings.
Follow the trail behind the fence and across the sand dike to the other side
where there is open water on the left side of the trail. It was singing in the
trees along the waters edge on the left.

Late this morning Bob Ekblad, Diane Anderson, and I watched a Willet
fly into the shorebird spot one mile north of the town of Nicollet on
the east side of Hwy. 111. The bird cooperatively foraged in front of
us, allowing me to take a few photos. I've been waiting for this
species to show u
I found two Eurasian Collared-Dove near the grain elevator in the town of
Atwater, MN this morning around 11:15AM.
I saw them at first to the west of the elevator and then watched them fly to
the grain elevator itself.

Sunday morning I saw a Mourning Warbler at Cedar Lake and a CT Warbler at
Roberts Sanctuary. Migration seems to definitely tapering off, with e.g.
the only Magnolia Warblers being females. What a lot of Cedar Waxwings this
Spring!

Shawn Zierman and I were birding and doing some photography at Park Point
recreational area. Shawn spotted a Northern Mockingbird on one of the trees in
front of the volleyball courts. This Northern Mockingbird is most likely the
same individual that Peder Svingen found last Thursday.

At Carlos Avery on Friday:
38 of the Sandhill Cranes foraging on the west side of Pool 4.
1 Caspian Tern at Pool 4.
5 Scarlet Tanagers on one short stretch of trail off the SE corner of Pool 9.

Hi, Bob,
Can you be more specific about the location? I've hiked the Reserve,
but would need some orientation as to where the site is in relation to
the Richardson Nature Center, or the beach or the south picnic area.
I'd like to try for it this afternoon (Sunday).
Thanks,
Linda Whyte

18 warblers in Mille Lacs County yesterday, including a personal first
county Hooded Warbler at Milaca Hiking Trails. Strongest passerine action
was at Kathio State Park ("the woods were alive with the sound of
music").
Ruddy Turnstones on Wigwam Bay, Mille Lacs Lake as well.
93 species
Not one, but two singing yellow breasted chats were present at Hyland
Lake Park Reserve in Boomington this morning. Both could be seen and
heard from the bike trail.

Late saturday afternoon Mark Ochs and I observed an alternate-plumage Red Knot

species present here were 2 Stilt Sandpipers and 4 White-rumped Sandpipers.
Earlier in the afternoon we saw a male Black-backed Woodpecker at th
In the Cliff Fen area of Black Dog Preserve, there were Bell's vireo
present in 3 different locations Saturday afternoon. The one that gave
a view was the first and most easily reached along the path, in the
same location as the last two years, for those familiar with it. It is
