This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, July 7th, 2005, sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS continue to be easy to find in Sax-Zim along McDavitt Rd 2.4 miles north of the Sax Rd. Some birders have also found CONNECTICUT WARBLERS and GRAY JAYS in this area.
Last weekend, Craig Mandel found a CONNECTICUT WARBLER near the bog walk trail in Scenic State Park near Bigfork in Itasca Cty.
The PEREGRINE FALCONS are active and easily viewed on the top of the Greysolon Plaza building at 3rd Ave E and Superior St in Duluth. One interesting and enjoyable vantage is from the outdoor section of the Hacienda del Sol restaurant.
Fall shorebird migration has probably begun, so it's time to start looking for shorebirds, or at least potential shorebird habitat.
The next scheduled update of this report will be on July 14th. However, if reports continue to be as slow as they have in recent weeks, the update may be delayed.
The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is 218-834-2858. Information about bird sightings may be left following the recorded message.
The Duluth Birding Report is sponsored and funded by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union (MOU) as a service to its members. For more information on the MOU, either write us c/o the Bell Museum to mou@cbs.umn.edu, or visit the MOU web site at moumn.org.
