[mou] Little Gull, Sabine's Gull in Duluth

[Peder Svingen]

The Little Gull was seen again Sunday (4 Sep) on Lake Superior from 
Lafayette Square (31st Street at Minnesota Ave) on Park Point in 
Duluth. It was found at about 5:20 PM--the third consecutive afternoon 
that it has been seen at this location between 5:00 and 5:30 PM. Twenty 
minutes later, a juvenile Sabine's Gull was seen at the same location. 
It flew in from the southeast with a small group of Bonaparte's Gulls. 
I called Ben Fritchman who had just left after seeing the Little Gull 
and he returned to Lafayette Square and also saw the Sabine's. It flew 
off towards Wisconsin Point, but reappeared at about 6:15 PM and 
eventually landed on the water about 400 yards southeast of Lafayette 
Square. It was still sitting on the lake amongst about a dozen 
Bonaparte's Gulls when I left at 6:30 PM.
