This is the Duluth Birding Report for November 17th, 2016 sponsored by
the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

A NORTHERN MOCKINGBIRD was found by Alex Lamoreaux on the 16th near the
rowing club and Southworth Marsh on Park Point in Duluth. Alex also had
two very late flyover AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS at Park Point on the 16th.

Jan and Larry Kraemer found two PACIFIC LOONS at the Park Point
Recreation area on the 5th and they were seen again on the 6th. A flock
of seven GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE was seen flying over Hawk Ridge on
the 7th, and one was found by Josh Lefever on the 13th at Wisconsin
Point, flying with a flock of five ROSS'S GEESE.

As many as seven THAYER'S GULLS are being reported from Canal Park and
11 have been seen on the Minnesota side of the Superior Entry. ICELAND
GULL, GLAUCOUS GULL, and GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS were also reported
from the Superior Entry as recently as the 13th.

A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was seen on the 16th in Two Harbors at Lake
Country Road 2 (4th Street) and 10th Avenue, across from the Lake View
Clinic. Alex Lamoreaux and Josh Lefever found a juvenile BLACK-LEGGED
KITTIWAKE on the 7th at Agate Bay in Two Harbors, but it has not been
relocated. The juvenile RED-THROATED LOON at Agate Bay was last reported
on the 9th by Peder Svingen.

A WHITE-WINGED SCOTER was seen as recently as the 14th in the Grand
Marais, and Dan Versaw reported one on the 12th at the Beaver Bay sewage
lagoons. Peder Svingen saw two BLACK SCOTERS on the 11th at Bayfront
Park. LONG-TAILED DUCKS continue to be seen in Two Harbors between
Burlington Bay and Agate Bay, and at Good Harbor Bay west of Grand
Marais.

Tony Lau saw a SPRUCE GROUSE on the 13th on Lake County Road 2 near the
Sand River, and another along the Stoney River Forest Road.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on or about Friday,
November 25th.
