This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, September 4th, 2008
sponsored by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.
A WESTERN KINGBIRD was found on the 3rd by Jan and John Green at the Two
Harbors golf course. It was with a flock of about 20 EASTERN KINGBIRDS,
just north of the clubhouse. Jan and John also found a BUFF-BREASTED
SANDPIPER on the ball fields along CR 2 (4th Street) two blocks north of
MN Highway 61. The Greens and Bob Williams each reported two
BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS at the Beaver Bay sewage ponds on the 3rd. Bob
also saw a RED-NECKED GREBE and five HORNED GREBES across from the
Cascade Lodge along MN Highway 61 in Cook County. Eleven AMERICAN WHITE
PELICANS flew over Burlington Bay in Two Harbors on the 3rd.
Norma Malinowski and Richard Gibson saw STILT SANDPIPERS, SOLITARY
SANDPIPERS, LEAST SANDPIPERS, and PECTORAL SANDPIPERS on the 30th at the
Winton sewage treatment ponds, east of St. Louis County Road 88. They
also saw SOLITARY SANDPIPERS, LEAST SANDPIPERS, and SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS
at the Embarrass rice paddies, but they report that the ponds are very
overgrown and difficult to access.
An UPLAND SANDPIPER, 14 AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS, and two BLACK-BACKED
WOODPECKERS flew past the Hawk Ridge main overlook on the 4th. A
BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER and a CONNECTICUT WARBLER were banded at the

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, September
11th.
