[mou] Ferruginous Hawk & Sabine's Gull

[Kim R Eckert]

Early this afternoon, 17 Sept, my MBW group found an imm Ferruginous 
Hawk in W Yellow Medicine Co and a juv Sabine's Gull at Salt L in Lac 
Qui Parle Co. The Ferruginous Hawk circled for several minutes over 
Yellow Medicine Co Rd 15 just S of MN Hwy 68, and it was lost from 
sight as it gradually seemed to be heading SE. And then late this 
afternoon a lone Sabine's Gull was seen as it foraged with Franklin's 
Gulls over the NE part of Salt L. (Also of note at Salt L were both 
godwit species, and our day's shorebird total in the 2 counties was 18 
species.)
