[mou] Park Point / Lafayette Square today

[Peder Svingen]

Three hours of lake watching produced the following birds of interest 
today (Saturday, 7 October):
8 Surf Scoters in one flock;
3 Red-throated Loons seen together with 4 Common Loons nearby;
1 jaeger sp., observed between 10:55 and 11:15 AM, probably a juvenile 
Pomarine based on pale rump patch and size ~15% larger than the adult 
RIng-billed it was chasing, but too distant to see all of the field 
marks and only compared to one Ring-billed and thus left unidentified;
1 juvenile/first-winter Little Gull foraging along the beach with 4 
Bonaparte's Gulls.
