We also were at the Snowy Owl and ECD's right before Linda Sparling, I =
guess. Looked for gulls on the river as far south as Winona with no =
success. Everything is frozen and I would presume the gulls went south =
instead of north to open water around Red Wing. In that area we only =
saw solitary flying gulls and no groups. The most gulls were at Point =
Douglas.
We would presume that the kittywake has not been seen since Thursday as =
nobody posted on having found it on Friday. With two days headstart it =
could easily be in the Quad Cities by now.

On to Wabasha County. I did not relocate any gulls at Lake City, =
let alone a BL Kittiwake. I'm thinking there was much less open water =
than when John Hockema and Dedrick Benz spotted the Kittiwake and =
Glaucous Gull. All there was to see were Mallards and a few Canada =
Geese huddled around two small openings in the ice.
The Eurasian Collared-Doves (all 10 of them) were roosting high =
in a deciduous tree right where John reported seeing them - in Plainview =
on 1st Av. SW between 3rd & 4th SW. I saw them at about 4:30.
The Snowy Owl was on Hwy 42 northeast of Plainview, between mile =
markers 19 and 20. There were several cars stopped to look at it. It =
flew towards a farm and scared up some birds, then flew to a pole on =
Cty. 14. This was between 4:45-5:00.
