This is the Duluth Birding Report for Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Although the fall migration is well underway, very little new has been
reported since last week's report. Dave Grosshuesch banded 137 songbirds
on the 15th at Hawk Ridge in Duluth, including a CONNECTICUT WARBLER and
two WILSON’S WARBLERS. Peder Svingen found 16 warbler species on the
13th at Park Point in Duluth, as well as VEERY, SWAINSON’S THRUSH, and a
GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSH.

COMMON NIGHTHAWKS began migrating along the north shore of Lake Superior
during the past week. Shawn Zierman reported 100-200 on the 15th at
Morgan Park in west Duluth, and flocks of 10-20 were seen on the 11th
and 12th at Castle Danger and Two Harbors in Lake County.

The next scheduled update of this report will be on Thursday, August
23rd. The telephone number of the Duluth Rare Bird Alert is
218-834-2858. Information about bird sightings may be left following the
