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. -- Peder H. Svingen Duluth, MN
