This is the Minnesota birding report for Thursday November 19th sponsored
by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
Three EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES were found in the town of Lynd, Lyon County
on November 14th. They apparently roost in the three spruce trees found
on the corner of River Street and St. Albans Street.
On Saturday November 14th a PACIFIC LOON was seen from the boardwalk at
Canal Park in Duluth.
Peder Svingen found an ICELAND GULL on the Minnesota side of the Superior

still on the west side of Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis on November 17th.
And on the 14th a GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULL was seen by Michael Tarachow on
Black Dog Lake in Dakota County. This may be the same bird that has been
seen occasionally on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.

Kottke's feeder on November 18th. TUFTED TITMOUSE, WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS
