Despite Stearns County having one of the top 10 county lists in the sta=
te
and a history of bird observations that goes back to Zebulon Pike and T=
.S.
Roberts, there are no records that I am aware of for the following spec=
ies:
Glaucous Gull, Iceland Gull, any  black-backed gull species, Long-taile=
d
Duck (the duck formerly known as Oldsquaw), Black (Common) Scoter, and
Northern Raven  If anyone has a record of these species I'd like to not=
e
this both for my manuscript on the birds of this county and Bob Janssen=
's
county checklist.  Please send any details of observations of these bir=
ds
with dates and numbers to me offline at wildchough@aol.com.  As freezeu=
p
occurs in the next several weeks, this would be a great opportunity to
search for these species in the county and carve your name into Stearns=

County ornithological history.  Thanks, Bob Russell=
