At the far NE corner of the containment area some nice mudflats/water pools.
1 RED KNOT--flew in with a Black-bellied Plover for a few minutes and then was spooked with the plover and flew off towards Interstate Island
32 DUNLIN
2 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS
3 LEAST SANDPIPERS
4 SEMIPALMATED PLOVERS
3 SANDERLINGS
3 SPOTTED SANDPIPERS
2 KILLDEER
1 GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE (maybe same one that was seen last week on Interstate Is.
 
Returned at 5pm and all shorebirds were gone...but a BLACK BEAR crossed my path as I was heading back to the car. Got a few shots of him until he saw me, climbed a little ways up a tree and then thought better of it and ran off. You got to love Duluth!
