Yesterday morning throughout Park Point (sunrise to about 9:15am), I was unable to re-locate the Arctic Loon. I did see my first BUFFLEHEAD (an adult male) of the fall. While at work at Hawk Ridge yesterday, I had my first AMERICAN TREE SPARROW and HARRIS'S SPARROW this fall. Amongst the many Dark-eyed Juncos, White-crowned Sparrows, and White-throated Sparrows at the Hawk Ridge feeding station, a FOX SPARROW was also seen at the feeders.
This morning (from sunrise to 9:30am) I was still unable to relocate the Arctic Loon. I did have a few interesting sightings this morning at Park Point, including: Bonaparte's Gulls COMMON TERN - 1 Scaup Common Merganser BARN SWALLOW - 1 White-winged Scoter - 1 Horned Lark I'm going to check Wisconsin Point tomorrow morning, just in case the loon is sticking around. Good birding! Erik Bruhnke Duluth, MN birdfedr at gmail.com www.pbase.com/birdfedr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
