[mou] Spirit Lake Report

[Dedrick Benz]

I thought Minnesota birders might find this Spirit Lake, IA report 
interesting:

Hello,
Last night while checking out the gulls at the north end of Big Spirit Lake
I saw a first year sabine's
gull. It was out off Crandall's swimming beach in the NW corner of the lake.
The strong South winds had many gulls working the surf, mostly ring-bills
with an occasional herring.
I've been checking almost daily for the Black-headed gull with no luck yet.
Good Birdin'
