On September 22nd, Mike Henderickson found a juvenile SABINE’S GULL on Lake Superior in Duluth. It was seen on the lake side of Park Point and was observed from the wooden platform between the Recreation Area and the airport. There have been no recent reports of the juvenile Sabine’s Gull found last Saturday at the Serpent Lake sewage ponds in Crow Wing County. There is however a secondhand report from September 20th of a Sabine’s Gull at Spirit Lake on the Minnesota - Iowa line in Jackson County, and an unconfirmed report of another Sabine’s Gull from Tamarack Point at Lake Winnibogoshish in Cass County on the 19th. An adult LITTLE GULL was also reported here on the same day.

On September 18th, a RED KNOT was at the south side of the bath house of the Recreation Area of Park Point in Duluth.

A LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was still on Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis, in Hennepin County, on the 22nd.

A somewhat late HOODED WARBLER was seen by Craig Mandel at Seven Mile Creek Park in Nicollet County on the 20th. It was found along the trail about 100 yards west of the last parking area.
