[mou] Pacific Loon and Lesser Black-backed Gull in Stearns Co.

[Chu, Philip]

Today at Pearl Lake in Maine Prairie Twp., Stearns Co., there was a Pacific Loon (wearing juvenal plumage, basic plumage, or a combination of the two).  The loon was first seen at about 2:30, and was still present at 5:00 when I left; throughout it was along the north and/or northwest shore of the lake.
 
Also, the fourth-fall Lesser Black-backed Gull found last weekend was still present today.
