Sharon and I found a beautiful male Harlequin Duck at Lighthouse Point in downtown Two Harbors today. It was close to shore along the gravel walking trail, east of the lighthouse. I haven't checked for the one reported at the Knife River marina on Thursday, so I guess it could be the same bird.
Also present in town were three Red-necked Grebes, a Common Loon, and six Bufflehead at Agate Bay, a Horned Grebe at Burlington Bay, and a small flock of Red Crossbills at 3rd Avenue and 1st Street. There are still a lot of mountain ash berries downtown and at Lighthouse Point. Jim Lind Two Harbors
