This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Saturday, July 20th, sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

There is a probable LONG-BILLED CURLEW in Lino Lakes, Anoka County. It was discovered on July 19th by Phil Alban. From I-35W north of the Twin Cities, drive north on Lexington Avenue for two miles to County Road 14. Turn east and drive a mile or so to the Robinson Sod Farm which is located about a quarter of a mile east of County Road 53. The bird was in the sod field that has the blue sign reading "Robinson Sod Farm" on the north side of the road. This bird is actively moving around and may be in the next field to the west. Regardless, it is far off to the north.

This state-wide birding report is brought to you and financially supported by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU). The MOU is Minnesota's oldest and largest bird club.
