[Mike Hendrickson]

Spent an hour and a half scanning Lake Superior at 31st Street also called Lafayette Square.

Highlight:
-adult Arctic Tern flew mixed in with some Common Terns.
-pure grey mantle
-grayish belly.
-look pot bellied in fly in comparison to the Common Tern flying nearby.
-shorter neck compared to Common Tern
-classic dark primary edging seen from below the primaries.

Other Birds at Park Pt:
-3 Red-throated Loons @ Lafayette Square
-Gadwalls (3) @ Lafayette Square
-3 Red-necked Grebes @ Lafayette Square
-Whimbrel on Herding Isl. on the north side.
-Baird's Sandpiper
-Red-headed Woodpecker in the first parking lot near the line of pine trees.
-Black-bellied Plover in the ball field

* lots of Eastern Kingbirds in Park Point around the ball field and also a heavy migration of Monarch Butterflies.
