At Park Point this morning, October 1, the Minn Birding Weekends group
found an adult male Black Scoter on the L Superior side of Park Point
from the 12th St access. From the same location we also observed a
possible small loon (perhaps the previously reported Pacific Loon),
but our views were too brief and distant for a positive ID.
Then on the lake late this afternoon out from the Park Point
Recreation Area, a very distant unidentified jaeger was seen (probably
one of the Parasitics reported a week ago). About the same time, a
female-plumaged Black Scoter flew by, and there were 5 Am White
Pelicans swimming out on the lake. Yesterday, Sept 30, there was a
Buff-breasted Sandpiper here on the beach, but we did not relocate it
today.
