Minnesota Birding Report - Oct. 18, 2004
Phil Chu and Ron Erpelding found a potential second state record COMMON GROUND-DOVE on Sunday, October 17 along State Highway 61, just south of Beaver Bay in Lake County. Early in the morning the dove was about one-half mile southwest of Mile Marker 48, and was being seen on both sides of the road. By mid-afternoon, it had moved northeast of the mile marker, but was still fairly easy to find.
