[mou] Some birds around Duluth...

[SCmzd at aol.com]

At 40th avenue west in Duluth, aka Erie Pier, 7/14/07, saw three  dowitchers, 
several pectoral, least, and spotted sandpipers, one greater and  several 
lesser yellowlegs, and several killdeer. Interestingly, there was also  one lone 
Northern Pintail walking around the shallows, looking a little out of  place 
frankly.  Most entertaining birds included a small group of  juvenile bank 
swallows, and one chimney swift zipping to and fro, and  a minnow dive bombing 
common tern.  All of these birds were packed  into the inlet area on the north- 
northeast side of the pier area.  The  area looks exceptional for shorebirds.  
(Morgan Park mudflats were empty  yesterday.) - Shawn Zierman.
