This afternoon my visiting brother and I walked a portion of the end of Park Point. After a little swimming in Lake Superior, we walked back to the parking-lot, and had a small group of shorebirds (1 Semipalmated Sandpiper, 2 Baird's Sandpipers and 1 Ruddy Turnstone). A little closer to the parking-lot area of the beach, a lone Semipalmated Plover was seen. I took some pictures, and will post some pictures likely tomorrow. Just wanted to share my sightings, in case anyone was interested in doing some shorebirding in Duluth tomorrow. During my brother's visit, he adopted a Merlin at Hawk Ridge. That was the first bird he ever held, and was really excited about it!
My eBird list from this afternoon at Park Point. Pictures to come a little later! http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S11512643 Good birding, Erik Bruhnke Duluth, MN -- *NATURALLY AVIAN* - Birding Tours and Bird photography [email protected] www.pbase.com/birdfedr www.facebook.com/NaturallyAvian ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
