Lars Benson found a fall adult Franklin's Gull this afternoon at 27th Ave West in Duluth. At the extensive exposed sand at this location, there were also Stilt, Semipalmated, Least, Pectoral, and Baird's Sandpipers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Black-bellied Plover, and Killdeer. Also a young Peregrine (green band on right leg), loafing and wading.
Dave Benson Duluth To reach this location, take the 27th Ave W exit off I-35, head toward the river and then east past the WLSSD facitilites. Park at the small turnout on the right side before the road goes under the freeway bridge.
