A juvenile POMARINE JAEGER was found at Park Point by Peder Svingen on
the 6th out from the Sky Harbor Airport on Lake Superior. It was seen at
about 5:30 in the afternoon as it flew towards Wisconsin Point. Peder
saw what was probably the same individual on the 4th at the same
location, but much farther out on the lake.
Mike Hendrickson found HORNED GREBES and COMMON TERNS at Park Point on
the 4th. A CASPIAN TERN, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, and AMERICAN
GOLDEN-PLOVER were seen at the recreational area on the 5th.
Dedrick Benz saw a BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPER at Lighthouse Point in Two
Harbors on the 6th. He also saw LEAST SANDPIPER, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER,
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER, and PECTORAL SANDPIPER at the wetland behind the
beach at the Flood Bay wayside rest a mile northeast of Two Harbors.
Today at the Indian Point campground in west Duluth, he found a male
BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER.
Large numbers of migrating thrushes have been seen in the area over the
past week. Six thrush species were banded at Hawk Ridge in Duluth on the
2nd, including WOOD THRUSH and GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH. A BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKER was seen at the Hawk Ridge pine plantation on the 4th, and
one has been seen near the banding station off and on for the past
couple of weeks.
Dennis and Barb Martin birded Koochiching County on the 1st and found a
THREE-TOED WOODPECKER and a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER in a cut-over area
along CR 13, 9.6 miles north of US Highway 71. They also found BOREAL
CHICKADEES 7.9 and 11.5 miles north of US Hwy 71.
Warren Nelson found 33 GREAT EGRETS on the 6th at the rice paddies north
of Aitkin along CR 1, as well as AMERICAN BITTERN, GREEN HERON, SANDHILL
CRANE, SORA, VIRGINIA RAIL, and several shorebirds. Warren also had
