The three WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS that have been present all winter were still near the Duluth shipping channel on th 23rd. The NORTHERN HAWK OWL on Jean Duluth Rd at the St. Louis County Highway Dept garage was still there as recently as the 25th.
HORNED LARKS have finally reached Duluth in abundance. There were several reports this week.
PINE SISKIN, a species that has been almost absent for most of the winter, has begun to re-appear, with reports from Tofte, and from Kim Eckert's feeder near Duluth. There were several reports of NORTHERN CARDINAL from various locations in Duluth.
The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, April 4.
