[mou] Little Gull age--mea culpa

I need to brush up on my reading comprehension.  In my original email
about the Little Gull photos, I said 

"I read what Tony Hertzel recently wrote about Little in first-winter
plumage at this time of year, but I can't see that this bird has yet
molted into first-summer"

in reference to the Minnesota Birding Report of May 15, which says

"A first year LITTLE GULL was reported at Goose Lake in southern 
Meeker County on the 10th. I have to wonder what a Little Gull would 
be doing in first-year plumage at this time of year".

I mis-read "first year" as "first-winter" so the fault is mine from
here on out.  I'm sorry to mis-quote you, Tony.  My mistake!  

With sincere apologies,
Chris
