Today I walked the 4-mile round-trip loop from the Park Point Airport (at the end of Park Point), to the Superior entry and back. The walk along the shore was quiet, but I did observe 5 Common Mergansers swimming by. The highlights from the morning were a HARRIS'S SPARROW at the airport and many LAPLAND LONGSPURS at the end of the point. I just created this Park Point photo album this afternoon. I hope you enjoy my photos!
