[mou] Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Colvill Park

[Karl Bardon]

Both a first-cycle and an adult Lesser Black-backed
Gull were present today at Colvill Park, Red Wing,
Goodhue County. Since first-cycle birds are seldom
seen in Minnesota, this is a great opportunity for
close study of  this plumage! Also present was one
adult Thayer's Gull.

Lake Pepin is now entirely open to Lake City, so the
ridiculous concentration of eagles that were present
here last Sunday were mostly gone (most of the eagles
on Sunday were sitting out on the ice, apparently
grounded by the fog). There were even more mergansers
today, however (3,450 Commons and 29 Red-breasteds).
