This is the Duluth Birding Report for Friday, July 14th, 2006 sponsored
by the Minnesota Ornithologists' Union.

BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLERS are still singing on territories in Lake
and Cook counties. Mike Steffes reported hearing three at Tettegouche
State Park today, and seven at Oberg Mountain earlier in the week. Sue
McDonnell found two on the 7th along the Crab Lake Trail off the Border
Route Hiking Trail in northern Cook County. The parking area for the
trail is about 0.25 mile beyond Loon Lake Lodge, off the Gunflint Trail,
and the warblers were just over 0.5 mile from the start of the trail.

Jan Green found an EVENING GROSBEAK in the town of Knife River in Lake
County on the 9th. An AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN was seen at Knife River
last week, and I have a second-hand report of pelicans being seen on
some of the larger lakes near Ely over the past two weeks.

Unless something interesting is reported in the next week, the next
scheduled update of this report will be in two weeks on Thursday, July
27th.

The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is 218-834-2858.
