This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, November 2nd, 2006
sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
At least eleven TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRES were seen over the past weekend
along the North Shore between Duluth and Cook County. Two were found
along the Croftville Road east of Grand Marais, and singles were seen
near Emily’s Restaurant in Knife River, at 4th Avenue and 2nd Street in
Two Harbors, and at Good Harbor Bay and at the Outpost Motel in Cook
County. Flyovers included a bird along the south end of the Alseth Road
and two birds at Stoney Point on the 28th, and two at Colville in Cook
County on the 29th.
As many as 28 BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS and seven AMERICAN THREE-TOED
WOODPECKERS were also seen over the weekend along the North Shore.
Locations included Stoney Point, Lighthouse Point in Two Harbors, Good
Harbor Bay, and Grand Marais. Lighthouse Point has consistently had two
to three AMERICAN THREE-TOED WOODPECKERS and a handful of BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKERS over the past few weeks. Three LONG-EARED OWLS were also
found by Jason Caddy at Lighthouse Point on the 29th.
The female MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRD at Bayfront Park in Duluth was relocated by
several observers over the weekend, although I have not heard any
reports since then. A third-winter LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was found on
the 27th by Paul Egeland and others at Canal Park in Duluth.
A FIELD SPARROW was found at the Two Harbors cemetery on the 28th. A
GRASSHOPPER SPARROW was found by Steve and Cindy Broste on the 29th in
Grand Marais in front of the Super America gas station.
Jan Green relocated the two immature ROSS'S GEESE at the Two Harbors
golf course on the 1st, as well as a flock of about 2,000 SNOW BUNTINGS.
A WHITE-WINGED SCOTER was seen in the Grand Marais inner harbor over the
weekend, and a flock of six was seen flying by Two Harbors on the 28th.
Deb and Steve Falkowski found three BLACK SCOTERS on the 29th on Lake
Superior at Park Point. They also saw a LONG-TAILED DUCK in the harbor
near the rowing club at Park Point, and one just south of Stoney Point
at fire number 8202.
A late-lingering CAPE MAY WARBLER was found by Earl Rosenwinkel on the
26th at Hartley Nature Center in Duluth. A late female ROSE-BREASTED
GROSBEAK has also been seen as recently as the 1st at Hartley.
A RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was found by Mike Hendrickson on the 28th in
Beaver Bay along Slater Drive. Another RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER was found
by Jean Carpenter on the 27th along Maui Lane in Esko, Carlton County,
as well as one in Lakewood Township found by Gordy Martinson near the
corner of Maxwell Road and Oak Street. Deb Ortman also has one coming to
her feeder along Haines Road in Hermantown.
