Jake Miller just called to report a dark-morph Gyrfalcon in the 
Duluth Port Terminal this morning at about 9:15.  He and two other 
birders originally saw the bird at the top of Elevator B, which is 
apparently a tall elevator with yellowish structures on top.  They 
saw the bird from Helberg Drive which goes east off Garfield Avenue, 
north of the Goodwill building.  About an hour later they called to 
say they briefly saw the bird on top of the General Mills elevator 
(Elevator A), before it flew across I-35 towards the hillside.

The Port Terminal is a relatively high security area and access can 
be tricky, so birders should use discretion when looking for the 
bird.  

Kim Eckert reports that a female Snowy Owl was seen this morning off 
Garfield Avenue between Railroad Street and the Goodwill building.  
The head was unmarked but the wing had a tag.  Kim's group also 
relocated the Northern Hawk Owl at Goosberry State Park this morning. 
 It was seen right at the bridge on the east side.  During the past 
two weeks the bird has ranged between the state park access road and 
1.2 miles east of the river along Hwy 61.

Kim also had a second-hand report that the male Barrow's Goldeneye 
was relocated yesterday at 21st Avenue East in Duluth, but I don't 
have any other details.
