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
