This is the Northwest Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday, July 17,
2008 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.

This has been a very quiet week, birdwise. There have been few reports
and no unusual sightings. Very little shorebird habitat can be found in
the northwest, but there are a few flooded patches in some fields where
the scattered storms have dumped rain.

Ben Wieland reported that a variety of shorebirds could be found at the
Walker wastewater treatment ponds on July 13. They included LEAST
SANDPIPER, BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, and STILT SANDPIPERS.

>From Kittson County, Larry Wilebski reported a LONG-EARED OWL with young
near Lancaster.

Thanks to Ben Wieland, and Larry Wilebski for their reports.

Please report bird sightings to Jeanie Joppru by email, no later than
Thursday each week, at ajjoppru at wiktel.com OR call the Detroit Lakes
Chamber's toll free number: 1-800-542-3992. Detroit Lakes area birders
please call 847-9202. Please include the county where the sighting took
place. The next scheduled update of this report is Thursday, July 24,
2008.
