This evening I observed two juvenile/1st winter Thayer's Gulls at Lake
Calhoun
in Hennepin County.  They were hanging out among the Herring Gulls,
which were
separated from the larger flock of Ring-billed Gulls.  Both birds were
fairly
easy to pick out from the juvenile/1st winter Herring Gulls; the
cream-colored
primaries showed little contrast with the rest of the body on both
birds.  When
flying, the primary and secondary pattern was also easy to see on each
bird.=20
Unfortunately, I did not find the Lesser Black-backed Gull, but there
were
still birds flying in at 5:45 as I left the area.
