BLACK SCOTERS, and an unidentified JAEGER. And at Lake Calhoun in
Minneapolis were both a LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL and an adult
THAYER'S GULL on the 28th. Both birds were seen close to the western

On September 27th, a SNOWY EGRET was in Odessa Township. Look along

A first county record SMITH'S LONGSPUR was in Pennington County on
