At 12:40 PM today (11/17), I found a drake Barrow's Goldeneye in the
Duluth harbor. There is a green park bench near the boat ramp at the
Recreation Area on Park Point, and if one sits on that bench and
points a spotting scope towards the Holcium Elevator at the Port
Terminal, the bird in question was directly in line with the elevator.
There were about 400 Common Goldeneye, five Black Scoters, and a male
Long-tailed Duck in this same area. The Barrow's was about 400 yards
away and based on a somewhat truncated black shoulder spur, appears to
be the same indiviudal that overwintered in Duluth beginning 11/1/2008.
