This is the Duluth Birding Report for Friday, July 14th, 2006 sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS are still singing on territories in Lake and Cook counties. Mike Steffes reported hearing three at Tettegouche State Park today, and seven at Oberg Mountain earlier in the week. Sue McDonnell found two on the 7th along the Crab Lake Trail off the Border Route Hiking Trail in northern Cook County. The parking area for the trail is about 0.25 mile beyond Loon Lake Lodge, off the Gunflint Trail, and the warblers were just over 0.5 mile from the start of the trail.

Jan Green found an EVENING GROSBEAK in the town of Knife River in Lake County on the 9th. An AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was seen at Knife River last week, and I have a second-hand report of pelicans being seen on some of the larger lakes near Ely over the past two weeks.

Unless something interesting is reported in the next week, the next scheduled update of this report will be in two weeks on Thursday, July 27th.
