This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, August 31, sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union. Fall migration has picked up substantially in the past few days and though there are not many unusual species to report, there is a great variety that is being seen.
Directions are as follows.
From the town of Windom go west approximately 15 miles on Minnesota Hwy. 62 to CR 7, go north about 3.5 miles to Oaks Lake. The bird, a white juvenile, has been frequenting a sandbar on the south side of the lake. One bird was in the sod fields on the St Paul campus of the Univ of MN on August 25. The band on the leg indicated it originated in Wyoming.
