This is the Minnesota Birding Report for Friday, January 15th, 2010.

A BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK in Duluth was last seen on January 10th, at 6219
East Superior Street. Take state highway 61 through Duluth to 60th
Avenue East, turn left and go two blocks to Superior Street, then turn
right to the home. The homeowners request that visitations be limited to
a maximum of five people at a time. Birders should park on only Superior
Street and should walk quietly up the driveway and before coming to the
garage, go left to the back door and watch the feeders from the sidewalk
between the driveway and the back door. Do not continue up the driveway
or enter the backyard.

A BARROW'S GOLDENEYE was still on Lake Superior in Duluth on the 15th,
most recently reported from Leif Erickson Park.

A male HARLEQUIN DUCK and a LONG-TAILED DUCK were still at Point Douglas
Park in Washington County on the 10th. Four LONG-TAILED DUCKS were seen
on the 11th at Burlington Bay in Two Harbors, Lake County.

A TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was still at the Ann Lake campground in Sherburne
NWR on the 10th. Another TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE was in Grand Marais, Cook
County on the 9th between the Coast Guard Station and Broadway Street.

I also have a few scattered reports of HORNED LARK, FOX SPARROW, and
SNOW BUNTING.

The next scheduled update of this tape is Thursday, January 21st, 2010.
