This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, September 19th, sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
Several interesting species turned up during last weekend's Hawk Weekend field trips. A NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW was seen at Stony Point; a BOBOLINK was seen at 40th Ave West; AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS and SANDHILL CRANES were seen over Hawk Ridge, and oddest of all, a BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKER was seen at Park Point.
Late last week on the North Shore, Kim Eckert and others saw a GREAT EGRET at the Lutsen sewage ponds, a VESPER SPARROW at Taconite Harbor, and a LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER at Beaver Bay. Deborah Buria-Falkowski saw a GREAT EGRET at the Embarrass marsh on the 18th.
AMERICAN PIPITS and LAPLAND LONGSPURS were seen over the weekend at 40th and at Park Point. Mike Hendrickson reported over 30 SANDERLINGS at Park Point on the 19th, and Jim Barrett has been seeing shorebirds in Morgan Park as recently as Wednesday.
The next scheduled update of this report will be Wednesday, September 25th.
