On 10/15 at Bayfront Park in Duluth, MN. there was a flock of at least 50 Horned Larks, also present were several white throated sparrows, white crowned sparrows, and at least two Harris's Sparrows. At this location and on Minnesota Point at least 10 Bald Eagles were observed. Also at Minnesota Point, I encountered a fairly large grouping, (approx. 20), of golden crowned kinglets. On 10/16 during the AM hours I saw hundreds of Robins migrating down the shore between Duluth and Two Harbors. I also observed several hawks and accipiters migrating, (I would not be suprised to hear that Hawk Ridge had a fairly active day, there were ALOT of raptors moving down the shore.) At lighthouse Point in Two Harbors I observed three black bellied plovers, several more golden crowned kinglets, american pipits, several brown creepers, and to my great amusement a small group, (5), winter wrens. There were also multiple flocks of pine siskins moving past lighthouse point, at one point, a flock of 30 siskins flew right into my location as they responded to my loud pishing request:) At the golf course in Two Harbors there were three more black bellied plovers, two sets of cackling geese, three ring necked ducks, and four hooded mergansers, (but no pear tree). All in all, a great morning to be out, with many birds to be seen. I posted a picture of one of the black bellied plovers from lighthouse point in the showcase section of MOU. Enjoy the fall.
