Herring Gull in Wabasha County
2011-12-10

Uncommon in Wabasha County in the Winter season

Great Black-backed Gull (probable 2nd-cycle) swimming and preening near the Sportsman's club, East of Lake City. First seen by Bill Litkey near Roschen Park on Dec 8. The three gulls on the left are Herring Gulls. There were more than 1,000 Common Goldeneye as well as one Long-tailed Duck.
Changed to Herring Gull after discussion from Karl Bardon, Peder Svingen, and Anthony Hertzel.
