The 2018 Spring Season 1 March to 31 May 2018

摘要

This was an excellent season for shore-birds. Black-necked Stilts were discovered in seven counties and produced first records for four of them. Three Casual Calidris sandpipers - Ruff, Curlew, and Western - were found. At least two Barn Owls along the southern edge of the state hint that perhaps this Accidental species could become more common in future years. And probably the best bird of the season was the state's second Cassin's Finch, an unexpected surprise in the Twin Cities.
