The Yellow-billed Loon was relocated at Agate Bay  11:00 am by Kim 
Eckert's Minnesota Birding Weekend.  It was present until at least 
12:00 noon.  It was outside of the breakwall, to the east, out in 
front of the lighthouse.  When originally seen at 11:00 it was faily 
close to shore, but eventually moved quite a ways out.  It spent a 
lot of time diving, so you had to be persistent to see it in the 
waves.

This bird was reported to MN-Bird late on Thursday evening, and was 
originally seen on Tuesday morning.  Birders looked without success 
for it yesterday.
