A few observers were each able to observe 24 species of warbler at Park Point in Duluth today. Among these were 2 female Black-throated Blues and a few Connecticuts. All but one of the species were between 41st St (near the bus-turnaround at the entrance to the Recreation Area) and the Recreation Area itself. (That one species was Golden-winged, which was at Lafayette Square / 31st St.) In all, there are 26 warblers which regularly migrate through Duluth, and the only two species I'm aware of that no one saw were Pine and Northern Waterthrush.
Also of note reported by various observers at the Recreation Area were 1 or 2 Yellow-billed Cuckoos (among several Black-billeds), a Western Kingbird, and Orchard Oriole. Also, there was an odd-looking Surf Scoter on the bay side of the Point near the Rowing Club (some of its wing feathers were worn or molting or something, making it look a lot like a White-winged), and 2 Red-throated Loons flew north past 31st St and were lost from view as they headed towards Canal Park.
