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.
