There have been lots of requests for more details on the upcoming MOU Field
Trip on Gulls in Duluth. So, I'll fill out a few more details.

This trip is going to run almost more like a Workshop. We're going to hit
the half dozen excellent gull spots in the Duluth area and really spend mor=
e
time with the birds, with a much slower pace. Mike Hendrickson and I will b=
e
talking about Gull ID features, how to separate the ages and how to pick ou=
t
the rarities (like we did last weekend!). It will be somewhat chilly (hard
to tell based on current weather patterns), so bringing things like a
thermos of coffee or hot chocolate would be appropriate. Likewise, having a
scope will be quite beneficial to participants. If you don't have one, you
won't be left out of the game, as both Mike and I will have scopes that
we'll be sharing frequently. Also, at some spots bringing a folding or lawn
chair would be nice. This will also be an excellent opportunity for
digiscopers to work on gull shots, since there will be plenty of time for
that.

We're going to meet in Duluth at 7:30 AM, then finish up in Two Harbors
around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.The morning will be spent mostly on the
Wisconsin side (Superior entry area) and Canal park, with lunch in Duluth,
then working our way up the shore in the afternoon.

If you're not interested in learning more about gulls, or already in love
with gulls, this trip might not be for you!

Good Birding!
Tom Auer
