Peder Svingen called to report a juvenile Gyfalcon at Park Point in 
Duluth.  It was seen on the harbor ice out from from Park Point near 
the bus turnaround, just before the recreational area.  Peder watched 
the bird from 3:15 to 4:10 pm.  This is the same location that Peder 
found an adult Gyrfalcon on December 29th.  

Apparently Kim Eckert and others were watching the same bird at the 
same time from Barker's Island in Superior, WI.  It eventually flew 
to Park Point, perched briefly in the top of a spruce tree, and then 
flew off.

Peder also reports a Long-tailed Duck with some goldeneyes in the 
shipping lane at Canal Park, a Snowy Owl this morning at the same 
location as the Gyfalcon, and a Peregrine Falcon at the Cargill 
elevators in the Duluth Port Terminal.
