I went out to Park Point this morning and found a Northern Mockingbird in the park. I gather this is a rather uncommon bird at this latitude (not the case where I'm from).
I also estimated about 30 Red-breasted Mergs along both shorelines in just over an hour of birding. This got flagged by ebird as a high count for the date, but I'm sure there are many more out there. There were about a dozen Ruddy Turnstones mixed with about as many Sanderlings working the lakeshore around 32nd st on Saturday. This report was also flagged by ebird filters... Pardon the listserve abuse, but if anybody knows where to find a Trumpeter Swan near Duluth, please send me an email. I tried and failed at Indian Point Campground on Sunday.
