This morning I led the weekly hike for Duluth Audubon Society. We had some great finds, including a Harlequin Duck, Red-throated Loon, migrating juvenile Peregrine Falcon, and more! To anyone interested in attending next week's walk, we'll meet by 7:15am at the recreation parking lot near the end of Park Point. Hope to see you there. eBird lists from this morning, and photos below.

Observed from the east side of Canal Park, looking east over the lake. Kudos to Larry Kraemer for finding this bird. http://www.pbase.com/image/146578841 Meadowlark (from this morning). We were leaning towards Eastern Meadowlark due to the higher-contrast head and relatively pale malar (handle-bar) streak. Any feedback on this bird is appreciated! http://www.pbase.com/image/146578842 Some fun shots from two days ago...
