Say's Phoebe in Traverse County
2018-07-07

'Rare Regular' in Minnesota - Five or fewer records in Traverse County for the Summer season

Say's Phoebe adult with fledgling. Another fledgling and another adult were also present. Two birds were first found on 7-5-18 by Gina Sheridan at 5262 County Road 2 just northeast of Browns Valley. Breeding was confirmed by Alex Sundvall and Charlene Nelson on 7-6-18 when they found four birds. The birds are ranging quite far on CR 2--I relocated them about 3/4 mile east of the original location.
