On Saturday I got some decent photos of the second winter plumage =
California Gull that Tom Auer spotted on the Minnesota side of the =
Superior Entry off from WI Pt on Nov 5.=20
On Nov 12th I refound the gull in the WI landfill but since birders are =
not allowed in the landfill I was able to photo the gull from the public =
road. To the photos are on my website under "recent sightings". That =
same day Peder Svingen refound the gull back at the Superior Entry on =
the Minnesota side at 3:00pm.
Other birds seen:
-Thayers Gulls (1 adult and 1 first winter) at the mouth of the Knife =
River
-Thayer's Gulls ( 2 adults and 1-2 first winter at the Superior Entry)
-Glaucous Gull ( 2 first winter )
-Bonaparte's Gull - a late winter adult at WI Pt.
-Bohemian Waxwings: Knife River, Two Harbors, my backyard
-Common Redpolls, Pine siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, Pine Grosbeaks and =
White-winged Crossbills seen or heard most days at Stoney Pt or Knife =
River. most of the finches are moving down the shore.
-a Late Brown Thrasher was found by Tom Auer on Nov 6 in Knife River.
There is still a very good number of Red-breasted Nuthatches along the =
northshore. There is still plenty of MT. Ash Trees with fruit on them =
in and around Duluth and the northshore. With SNOW in the forecast 2-6 =
inches by Tuesday night! Calling for a winter storm watch or warning. =
Heard it on the radio today! Maybe this storm will push some western =
strays on some rarity to shake things up this fall season.
