The Red-throated Loon, which has been present for several days at Park Point in Duluth, was seen again today on L Superior from the 12th Street beach access. Also seen today from this location was a Short-eared Owl which flew in off the lake and was lost from sight behind the dunes several blocks to the south of 12th St. I was unable to relocate the Pacific Loon which had been seen again on Saturday on the lake out from 22nd St. on Park Point.
It appears that the big Black-backed Woodpecker influx along the North Shore (especially during the previous 2 days!) has either peaked or the weather today was just not conducive to much movement. I am aware of only 5 or 6 individuals being seen this morning between Duluth and Knife River, and I could only find 2 Boreal Chickadees. Kim Eckert
