This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, July 6th, 2006 sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
With the mid-summer birding “doldrums” upon us, the only recent report from the area is of a DICKCISSEL found by Bob Williams on the 4th in southwestern Carlton County. The bird was found along the Butkiewicz Road, just west of CR 19.
Repeating a few of the sightings from last week's report, the WHITE-WINGED DOVE at Nelsons Resort in Crane Lake was seen in its usual location on June 23rd.
On June 24th, a GREAT GRAY OWL and LONG-EARED OWL were seen in Itasca County on the Alder Road (FR 253) south of Marcell. The birds were seen in a meadow two miles north of the Bowstring River at Middle Creek (or 5.5 miles south of Marcell). Another GREAT GRAY OWL was found by Christine Olson in St. Louis County on the 25th along MN 73 north of Chisholm, at mile marker 110 between Highway 22 and Highway 1. Shawn Conrad relocated the NORTHERN HAWK OWL on June 28th along Highway 65, 3.6 miles north of Itasca County Road 53.
A YELLOW RAIL was heard in the McGregor Marsh in Aitkin County on June 28th on the east side of Highway 65, 0.5 mile south of MN 210. Two NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROWS were found on the west side of MN 65, 0.25 mile south of MN 210.
The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, July 13th.
The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is 218-834-2858. Information about bird sightings may be left following the recorded message.
