counted on the 21st between Lester River and Two Harbors. A flock of
10 LONG-TAILED DUCKS was also seen out from the Lakewood Road.
More than 1,100 raptors were counted on the 22nd at the West Skyline
Hawk Count in Duluth, including 896 BROAD-WINGED HAWKS and a late
GOLDEN EAGLE. Twenty-six AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS were also seen on
the 22nd.
Rebecca George reported a probable RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD on the
22nd at her home in the Lakeside neighborhood of Duluth. Other
