Hello:=20

As you can tell by Josh's post it was very fun today at Wi Pt. I thought =
I elaborate a little more on giving some credit to some birders and =
birds they found during the weekend.

Shawn Putz & Tom Schultz (spelling) originally found the Artic Tern in =
the Superior Entry on Saturday 9/25 at 12:30pm

Shawn Putz & Robbeye Johnson originally found the immature Little Gull ( =
I believe on Friday 9/24) These birders also originally found Paraitic =
Jaeger along with Tom Schultz as well.

Tom Auer originally found found the Sabine's Gull on 9/26 on the =
Minnesota side at 8:00am.=20

Today these birds were refound on the Minnesota side by the following =
birders:

*Artic Tern was refound on 9/26 by Mike Hendrickson
*Parasitic Jaeger was refound by a unknown birder (Shawn Putz) and Tom =
Auer got all of us on to it.
*Short-eared Owl was found by Bob Dunlop.

The following birds were all seen on the Minnesota side on 9/26:
* Artic Tern
*Sabine's Gull (juv)
*Little Gull
* Parasitic Jaeger (adult light Phase)
*Short-eared Owl

It was a fun day and it was also one them days you'll always remember.  =
I am sure up and coming birders like Josh Watson and the rest of the =
young guys will remember this day for some time. From 7:30am till 8:45am =
Tom and I had the whole light house for ourselves and it was nice to =
have extra eyes as well. If you decide to walk the rocky boulders to get =
to the light house be careful and wear good shoes with good rubber grips =
on them. My Nike sandals was not a good idea.

I also apologize for reporting the Black-legged Kittiwake to MOU-Net.  =
My WI friend was just relaying information to me. From what I gathered =
there were a few birders that mistaken the immature Little Gull as a =
Kittiwake last Friday but so did some of the people I birded today with. =
This is a honest mistake because both gulls have a "M" pattern on the =
mantle.  Besides getting lifers these birders also learned some gull id.

A fun memorable day.
