SHARP-SHINNED HAWK
American Robin
Welcome to the North Dakota Rare Bird Alert compiled by the North
Dakota Birding Society. This report was prepared on Tuesday, Feb. 16.
Unless otherwise noted, any phone numbers mentioned are area code 701.
Transcriber's Note: Birds listed in ALL CAPS in the Birds Mentioned
section signify that the Revised Checklist of North Dakota Birds
lists them as Occasional, Accidental, Extirpated, or never having
occurred before for the season being reported.
One observant birder stayed home, and another didn't go far.
Rick Holbrook recorded the first SHARP-SHINNED HAWK he had
ever seen in his Fargo neighborhood. The bird was spotted in a cotoneaster
near his feeders on Feb. 9. You can get more details by contacting
Rick at fholbrook@cableone.net
Marty Anderson watched about 35 AMERICAN ROBINS enjoying the
open water at a cofferdam near Oak Park in Minot on Feb.6. Marty says
the open water was soon gone, and so were the robins. You can reach
him at lstml@evision-video.com
That concludes this report from the North Dakota Birding Society. This
report is normally updated each Tuesday.
