The Harlequin Duck and Iceland Gull were both seen near the breakwall at dusk at Agate Bay in Two Harbors today. The harbor is completely frozen, and the lake has large sheets of ice that are moving around in the wind. The forecast is for north winds, so there should be open water around this weekend.
The Harlequin was with a group of about 20 Common Goldeneyes. The Long-tailed Duck that had been associating with the Harlequin was not seen. As I was leaving, the first-winter Iceland Gull flew in and landed on the lake. Jim Lind Two Harbors
