This is the Duluth Birding Report for December 30th, 2011 sponsored by

The apparent GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULL was still present in the Duluth harbor
as of the 29th. It has been seen by several observers at Canal Park and
at WLSSD near the mouth of Miller Creek at 27th Avenue West. ICELAND
GULLS, GREAT BLACK-BACKED GULLS, GLAUCOUS GULLS, and THAYER'S GULLS
continue to be seen at both locations.

The VARIED THRUSH at Pat Thomas's feeders at 6219 East Superior Street
was seen as recently as the 25th. Birders are welcome to look for the
bird, but are asked to stay between the driveway and the back door and
not venture beyond the back of the house while looking for the bird.
Dudley Edmundson saw a late-lingering YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER in Duluth on
the 29th below London Road between 15th and 16th Avenue East.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, January
