Mostly absent from the region for decades, one Duluth birding expert suspects they might be making a comeback. 8:00 am, May 15, 2021 × A male evening grosbeak recently photographed by Laura Erickson in her yard in Duluth's Lakeside neighborhood. A once-common species nesting in the area, Erickson is asking Northlanders to keep an eye out for nesting evening grosbeaks to see if they might be making a comeback here.
