[mou] Duluth Birds Update

[Michael Hendrickson]

The Red-throated Loon spotted by Peder Svingen yesterday was still at Lafayette Square this afternoon. Also at Lafayette Square (31st St. at Park Point) were 4 Baird's Sandpipers.
   
  At the ball field at Park Point the two Whimbrels (spotted by Peder) were still foraging for insects on the ball field this afternoon.
   
  At 40th Ave West mudflats were a good variety of shorebirds.
  -Least Sandpipers
  -Semipalmated Sandpipers
  -Stilt Sandpiper
  -Lesser Yellowlegs
   
  Other:
  -Common Terns
  -Bonaparte's Gulls
  -Pied billed Grebes
   
  * I took pictures of a peep which could be a candidate for a Western Sandpiper.  I added this last because I just got home and haven't looked at the photos closely but it sure looked good in the field. Hopefully other locla birders may find it today or tomorrow.
