[mou] Pelican Banding

[Sharon Stiteler]

I went out with a group led by Jeff Dimatteo from St. Cloud State University
to band pelicans, cormorants and ring-billed gulls chicks on islands on Lac
Qui Parle.  I have put some photos up here:

Just a small warning, these are not just cute baby bird photos, but a
documentation of what you find in these nesting colonies.  On the bottom of
the second page are some graphic photos of what some of the birds do to each
other.  If you have a weak stomach only look at page 1.
