[mou] Lesser Black-backed Gull--- Black Dog Lake

[Drewbec@aol.com]

Last evening I saw a 2nd Summer Lesser Black-backed Gull at the west end of 
Black Dog Lake, associating with about 25 Ring-billed Gulls. More than likely, 
this is the same individual originally seen by Doug Kieser at Purgatory Creek 
in Eden Prairie a couple weeks ago. This is a very late Spring date for this 
species. It will be interesting to see if this bird continues to hang around. 
If it does, it may be the first Summer record of Lesser Black-backed Gull for 
the State.
