Sunday (10/26) Mike Hendrickson and I observed the following birds of interest on Lake Superior: Female/immature Harlequin Duck between 22nd Street and 31st Street (Lafayette Square) on Park Point; Two adult Red-throated Loons between the Recreation Area and Sky Harbor Airport; Adult Thayer's Gull on Minnesota side of the Superior Entry (another adult was at the Superior Landfill).
Friday (10/24) while it was raining, I found two Pacific Loons and one juvenile Red-throated Loon on Lake Superior between the Recreation Area and Sky Harbor Airport, and another juvenile Red-throated at Lafayette Square. These four loons could not be refound the next morning. Thus, at least four different Red-throated Loons have been recently seen in Duluth. -- Peder H. Svingen Duluth, MN
