Several other birders and I were able to see the GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW today at the feeders at 4401 Regent St., Duluth. I am told the bird was present very early this morning and was not seen again until we located it a block away on Robinson St. at 3:05. The bird was in a cedar tree with some Juncos, White-throated Sparrows, and a pair of Cardinals. From there, it moved promptly to the aforementioned feeding station. Please remember to stay on this sidewalks and be careful of icy spots, especially in the alley.
The COMMON EIDER was still present this afternoon in the previously reported location near 21st Ave. E. The previously reported Pacific Loon was not present. I checked the lake walk for about 1/2 mile south of the condominiums and only found Common Goldeneyes. I talked to some other birders and none of them had seen it. I stopped briefly at Canal Park at about 3:45 and found an ICELAND GULL. Thanks to Dave Bartkey and Chris Hockema for assistance with ID.
