Why Not Minot - Magdalena Scores Big






Hello All - This afternoon we visited several birding hot spots near Minot, ND. We were able to locate several Red-necked Phalaropes (Photo Above), one of Magdalena's most wanted birds in the Big North D. She also managed to get her first ever views of a male Hooded Merganser (photo above), what a stunner!

Other new birds not metioned on previous postings were: Wild Turkey, Wood Duck (photo above), Sanderling, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Red-eyed Vireo and Lark Sparrow.

My mom found us a Pronghorn Antelope, that is quite a nice find for this part of the state!

We are off early tomorrow morning to see the Sharp-tailed Grouse doing their thing. Hopefully I'll have some nice pics for my next posting!

Great Birding, STEVEN
