This is the Duluth Birding Report for February 2nd, 2012 sponsored by
the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was found on the 2nd by Dave Grosshuesch at the
Grand Marais Forest Service office along MN Highway 61 on the west side
of town. I also have a second-hand report of a HERMIT THRUSH coming to a
feeder in Grand Marais, but I don’t have a specific address. At least
500 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS were seen at the municipal campground on the 31st.

The NORTHERN HAWK OWL at Gooseberry Falls State Park was relocated on
the 30th along MN Highway 61 at the Gooseberry River. An AMERICAN
THREE-TOED WOODPECKER continues to be seen northeast of Isabella along
the Sawbill Landing Road, 0.8 mile north of FR 172. Mike Hendrickson saw
two BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS on the 29th a mile north of here in a
burned area near the Trapper's Lake access.

The SNOWY OWL north of Aitkin at CR 1 and CR 22 was relocated on the
29th and again on the 1st. Warren Nelson saw a GREAT GRAY OWL on the
29th on the Pietz's Road, 0.2 mile north of Aitkin CR 18.

Two GREAT GRAY OWLS were seen by Sparky Stensaas on the 31st in the
Sax-Zim Bog along the McDavitt Road (CR 233), 2.5 to 3 miles north of
the Sax Road (CR 28). EVENING GROSBEAKS and a HOARY REDPOLL are being
seen at the Blue Spruce Road feeders, one mile north of CR 133.

ICELAND GULLS, GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS, GLAUCOUS GULLS, and THAYER'S
GULLS continue to be seen at Canal Park. Several observers saw an
impressive total of 18 GLAUCOUS GULLS at Canal Park on the 30th.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, February
9th.
