This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, April 8, 2004, 
sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

I have a second-hand report that a TUFTED TITMOUSE has been seen at the 
corner of Apple and Oak Streets near the Maxwell Rd in Duluth.

Warren Nelson saw a SHORT-EARED OWL on Aitkin Cty Rd 1 north of Aitkin 
and about a half-mile north of the diversion channel. It was seen again 
as recently as the 5th. He also reported that SHARP-TAILED GROUSE are 
dancing at two leks north of Gun Lake on Township Rd 380 about 2.0 
miles west of Cty Rd 5.

AMERICAN WOODCOCK and WILSON'S SNIPE were displaying in Cook Cty on the 
1st.

Denny Meyer reported banding over 1200 COMMON REPOLLS and 7 HOARY 
REDPOLLS between March 18 and April 5 in Northern Itasca Cty. Bill 
Maier reported 2 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS  on the 7th. The West Skyline 
Hawkwatch had two adult RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS this week, one on the 2nd 
and one on the 6th. In addition, Frank Nicoletti reported 652 BOHEMIAN 
WAXWINGS on the 2nd and SANDHILL CRANES on the 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Other newly reported migrants this week include GREAT BLUE HERON, 
BELTED KINGFISHER, YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER, FOX SPARROW, and SONG 
SPARROW.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, April 15.
