The Harlequin Duck and Iceland Gull were both seen near the breakwall
at dusk at Agate Bay in Two Harbors today. The harbor is completely
frozen, and the lake has large sheets of ice that are moving around
in the wind. The forecast is for north winds, so there should be open
water around this weekend.
The Harlequin was with a group of about 20 Common Goldeneyes. The
Long-tailed Duck that had been associating with the Harlequin was not
seen. As I was leaving, the first-winter Iceland Gull flew in and
landed on the lake.
