Sorry for the delayed message, I haven't had Internet for a few days. On friday 4/10, I found an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull on Martin Lake in Martin County. I believe this is a first county record. I observed the bird from the NW part of the lake. Viewing is a little difficult having to look through some trees, but the gull prominently stuck out among the other gulls. I was even able to see its leg color(yellow) when it walked up onto the shore to confirm its id. I also had a trumpeter swan in Faribault County...if anyone wants directions to that bird let me know. I don't know if there are any records for Faribault as of yet. Ben Fritchman
