15 | 74:36 | 2001-09-19 | Duluth | St. Louis | (record #2001-55, vote 7–0,). Jaeger identification is typically difficult, but this individual was an adult with a fully grown tail and seen at relatively close range. The Loon 74:57 | Accepted | |||
16 | 77:9 | 2004-09-07 | Duluth | St. Louis | (record #2004090, vote 7–0). Sight record of one juvenile. Its size was compared to all nearby Ring-billed Gulls.

One was seen regularly off Park Point for nearly a month, then two juveniles were seen together 4 October; presumably, one or both birds were responsible for reports of this species at the Superior Entry in late September.
