Hi Today Per Johansson and I did some birding along North shore from Duluth up to Two Harbors. At 1.45pm we found a Pacific Loon at Burlington Bay (the Bay NE of the lighthouse). We discovered the loon from the Harbor walk, but moved over to 1st Street to get a better view. We studied the bird for 45 min and got some photos (not of very good quality, but you can at least see that it is a Pacific). The bird was still at Burlington Bay when we left at 2.30pm.
In addition to the loon we also saw 4 Long-tailed Ducks at Burlington Bay and a first yr Thayer's Gull at Agate bay (at the lighthouse). /Joachim Strengbom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joachim Strengbom (PhD) Dept. of Forest Resources University of Minnesota 1530 Cleveland Ave. N St Paul, MN 55108, USA Phone: 612-624-6709
