[mou] Possible Slaty-backed Gull photos

[Laura Erickson]

I took a bunch of photos of the gull that is probably a first Minnesota
record of a Slaty-backed Gull in Grand Marais today.  I've posted a few of
them--I'll get more up on this link later.  Meanwhile, Denny Martin and
Dave Cahlender got what I bet were much better photos--I'm sure they'll
pop up on the MOU photo page soon.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds. 
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the
winter.
