[mou] Lesser Black-backed Gull---Black Dog

[Drewbec@aol.com]

This morning on the way to work, between 8:10 and 8:25am, I stopped to enjoy 
the spectacle of a 1000+ American White Pelicans, perhaps an addition 1000 
Double-crested Cormorants, and hundreds of gulls at Black Dog Lake in Burnsville. 
A quick scan with my scope from the observation deck, and there was a 2nd 
winter Lesser Black-backed Gull among the multitudes. Perhaps the same bird 
that's been seen off and on since Spring?

I was able to share the observation with George Greer (sp?), a visiting 
birder from Eugene, Oregon.
