This is the Duluth Birding Report for September 24th, 2015 sponsored by

A juvenile MISSISSIPPI KITE was seen by Karl Bardon and others at Hawk

SAPSUCKERS was tallied on the 22nd. The peak BROAD-WINGED HAWK flight

Clinton Neinhaus and others saw three BUFF-BREASTED SANDPIPERS on the
18th near the Sky Harbor Airport on Park Point, and two were still
present on the 21st. A first-cycle FRANKLIN'S GULL continues to be
reported from around the Duluth-Superior harbor, most recently on the
24th at the Park Point ball fields. A CALIFORNIA GULL, LESSER
BLACK-BACKED GULL, and PARASITIC JAEGERS continue to be reported from
the first parking lot on Wisconsin Point. Peder Svingen saw a PARASITIC
JAEGER and three unidentified JAEGERS on the 24th on the Minnesota side
of the Superior Entry.

A female SPOTTED TOWHEE was found by Jim Lind on the 24th in Two Harbors
on the east side of the parking lot behind the Lake View Clinic, two
blocks north of the Holiday station. An adult LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL
was seen on the 18th at Knife River on the large concrete crib in Lake

The next scheduled update of this report will be on October 1st.
