[mou] Little Gull in Duluth

[Kim R Eckert]

This afternoon I found an adult Little Gull at Park Point in Duluth. It 
was on the lake side of the Point out from Lafayette Square / 31st St, 
associating with a large flock of Bonaparte's Gulls. Counting by tens, 
I estimated there were about 1,400 Bonaparte's in this single group, 
with a total of at least 2,000 Bonaparte's in all at Park Point. Jim 
Lind arrived a short time later and was able to get a recognizable 
photo of the Little Gull.

Jim and I also saw a probable distant Black Scoter flying by, plus a 
Black Tern. Dozens of terns (mostly Commons) were also flying out over 
the lake at several locations. On the bay side of the Point near the 
rowing club we also saw a Surf Scoter, and earlier in the afternoon 
Mike Hendrickson reported a few Red-throated Loons on the lake out from 
the Recreation Area.
