The Varied Thrush was relocated yesterday at the corner of Kirby Drive =
and St. Marie Street on the east end side of the University of Minnesota =
- Duluth campus. The Varied thrush (female) was first seen in one of the =
3 large cedar trees on this corner. When I set up my scope the bird was =
gone and I waited for the bird to come out so I can get a photo of it. =
After a brief time of waiting and chatting with Sarah G. and Molly Evans =
I decided to check the Bagley Nature parking lot which is about a half =
block north of the Kirby Drive/Oakland St & St. Marie St. corner. When =
you pull into the parking lot there is a sign on the far side that reads =
"Bagley Nature ??" and also there is a brown portable restroom =
(satellite) next to the sign. Park here and look at the tall Mt. Ash =
Tree mixed with a Jack Pine and some Spruce Trees. The bird was eating =
Mt. Ash berries under the heavy cover of one of the spruce trees.
To get to the UMD campus from I-35: Take I-35 thru Duluth to 21st Ave. =
East exit. Take the exit and head up the hill on 21st Ave East. You'll =
be going thru a series of stop lights, eventually 21st Ave. East ends at =
Woodland Ave and veer to the right onto Woodland Ave. Follow Woodland =
Ave to St. Marie Street (stop lights) take a left on St. Marie Street. =
Follow St. Marie St. and watch on your left for Kirby Dr/Oakland St. =
You can park on the shoulder in front of crab apple trees and scan from =
here or pull into the parking lot on your left and scan from here as I =
did. IF the bird is not here at this location, you can walk or drive =
the short distance to the Bagley Nature Parking lot and walk towards the =
dorm room buildings and check the tall Mt. Ash tree and look for the =
bird here. I heard some robins in this area while looking for the =
Varied Thrush.
