[mou] Pacific and Red-throated Loon still present at Park Point, Duluth

[Peder Svingen]

Between 5:00 and 5:15 PM on Monday, 8 October, I watched an adult 
Pacific Loon and a Red-throated Loon in basic plumage on Lake Superior, 
from the bath house at the Park Point Recreation Area. A Red-necked 
Grebe, several Red-breasted Mergansers, and several cormorants were 
also feeding offshore in the heavy surf. The Pacific Loon appeared to 
be the same individual found by Kim Eckert at the 12th Street public 
access on Park Point over the weekend. The Red-throated Loon was a 
different individual from either of the two Red-throateds recently 
observed at Canal Park and the 12th Street access.
