Both a first-cycle and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull were present today at Colvill Park, Red Wing, Goodhue County. Since first-cycle birds are seldom seen in Minnesota, this is a great opportunity for close study of this plumage! Also present was one adult Thayer's Gull.
Lake Pepin is now entirely open to Lake City, so the ridiculous concentration of eagles that were present here last Sunday were mostly gone (most of the eagles on Sunday were sitting out on the ice, apparently grounded by the fog). There were even more mergansers today, however (3,450 Commons and 29 Red-breasteds). Karl Bardon __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
