We held our "training" for migration surveys this morning in Duluth and were overwhelmed by thousands of passerines moving down the shore. A record 10,000+ Cedar Waxwings were accompanied by Grackles, Blackbirds, Swallows, Blue Jays, Robins, Kingbirds, and Warblers. It was a great start to the season and we begin our shoreline surveys tomorrow (8/30/10). One of our researchers will be counting at the Knife River Wayside just up the shore from Duluth. On Tuesday (8/31/10) a researcher will be counting from Wolf Rock on the Superior Hiking Trail access in Castle Danger (NE of Two Harbors).
Check back for count updates and observer locations.
