This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Thursday November 13th.
Dave Carman reported an immature gray phase GYRFALCON from Hawk Ridge
in Duluth on November 8th.
Three GREAT GRAY OWLS were reported from the junction of Pietz's Road
and Aitkin County 18 in Aitkin County on the 8th.
Scoters have been reported from several locations along the north
shore of Lake Superior over the past week. BLACK SCOTERS were seen at
Good Harbor Bay, Tofte, Silver Bay, and Park Point; WHITE-WINGED
SCOTERS were seen from Taconite Harbor. Away from the lake, two SURF
SCOTERS were on Lake Mazaska in Rice County on the 7th, and on the
11th three more were seen on Lake Byllesby in Dakota County. And a
HARLEQUIN DUCK was seen at the French River outlet in St. Louis
County on the 13th.
The LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was seen once again on Lake Calhoun on
the 12th. It is best from the west side of the lake in the late
afternoon.
And finally, the SAGE THRASHER is still being reported from the
campground in Grand Marais, Cook County. It is most often seen in the
bushes at the base of the western breakwall near the green power
plant.
