I called a friend from Wisconsin who has been birding WI Pt. since =
Thursday and here are what they saw today by 10:00am Friday.
Friday:
Sabine's Gulls (2) Juveniles
Black-legged Kittiwake imm.
Pacific Loon
Western Grebe.
Thursday:
Light Morph. Parasitic Jaeger
I was told one of the Sabine's Gull flew into Minnesota as well as the =
Kittiwake. The Jaeger on Thursday also was seen flying into Minnesota. I =
was at Park Pt. from 10:30am till 11:30am and saw nothing unusual. The =
gulls and terns were way down from the past few days. Later on I went =
over to WI Pt. and birded at the end with Chuck Krulas and Jeff =
Stephenson and we found the Pacific Loon ( I feel from what I saw =
because how dark it was it looked to be a adult winter plumage bird). =
The loon never swam into Minnesota waters and mainly stayed on the right =
side of the light house at the tip of the breakwater. It was only 100 =
yards away from Minnesota!
Other birds seen today:
Sanderlings on the beaches (WI & Mn)
Golden Plovers flew into Minnesota (3)
Lapland Longspurs (4) in WI only
Merlin at Park Point
Gr. Scaup off Park Point
Horned Grebes
Stuff:
There are going to be a ton of birders around thru out the weekend. The =
WSO (WI group) will around 30-40 birders at WI on Saturday and Sunday. =
The MOU group that I am leading will have 25 birders at Park Point and a =
few other spots all day Saturday and Kim Eckert will have a group of 10 =
birders birding various spots. I know some out of town birders are =
coming up to bird with me and by themselves. Of course Hawk Ridge will =
have there crowds as well. So with all these people and eyes I hope =
something outstanding will be found or a lot of casual strays.=20
