Don Harrington from Northfield, MN left a phone message with me today (Monday) that he observed a possible Arctic Loon between the two picnic areas at Brighton Beach (Kitchi Gammi Park) in east Duluth. He watched the bird for 3 hours today with calm winds and few waves, and noted consistently white flanks, white cheeks with no markings, and no necklace. I haven't yet spoken with Don so I don't have any additional information, but I thought I would post something in case there are interested birders who might want to check out the area tomorrow.
