Okay … my owls will have to wait a while before I am willing to visit. The mosquitoes are horrible in the woods. Even though I’ve heard crow attacks, the buzzing monsters have forced me to turn back several times.
Thus, northeast birding (not just Duluth) should be limited to areas somewhat out in the open. This morning I discovered that Sax-Zim Bog has a record number of bzzzzzing bugs. However, there are options …
- Hawk Ridge is a great for finding Indigo Buntings at sunrise. This little guy shown below was singing his heart out yesterday morning at 6:30 am.
- The Red-Headed Woodpeckers on the Western Waterfront Trail were also still courting yesterday morning
- A hike along the railroad tracks out into Mud Lake did NOT yet yield any yellow-headed blackbirds

Agreed, those biting critters are THICK in your area. Just spent a few days in the area – ever beautiful! Had not previously traversed Seven Bridges Road.
