[mou] Varied Thrush, Iceland Gull et al

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Nathan & I did a bit of traveling yesterday:  initially to Sartell, where we 
enjoyed a Varied Thrush that's been coming to a feeder (Lisa is a most 
gracious host); then to Dakota County, seeking the Gyrfalcon in vain for 2.5 
hours (although enjoyed the birders we ran into, thanks for letting us tag 
along, Herb & Ron), finally to Black Dog, where we had looks at two airborne 
Iceland Gulls.  The day was beautiful, Nathan netted two life birds, and we 
have a great start on our year list.

Good birding to all!
