This is the Duluth Birding Report for June 18th, 2015 sponsored by the
Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

With spring migration over and the breeding season well underway, there
are just a few things to report from around the area. Rick Gibson found
BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS on Oberg Mountain in Cook County on the
6th, very near where the Oberg Loop connects to the spur trail. Bob
Myers found BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS along the Superior Hiking Trail
about a mile east of the Finland Recreation Center. Kim Eckert found a
singing YELLOW-THROATED VIREO on the 15th about four miles up the
Willard Munger Trail in west Duluth.

Tod Eggenberger photographed a SURF SCOTER on the 13th at Agate Bay in
Two Harbors. Carolyn Quick reported a WHITE-WINGED DOVE on the 11th at
her yard in Eagles Nest Township in northern St. Louis County, but I
don't have any other details.

The next scheduled update of this report will be in two weeks on July
2nd.
