[mou] Sleepy Eye Sabines's found dead

[rdunlap at gustavus.edu]

Brian Smith just called to report that the Sabine's Gull that had been  
present at the sewage lagoons in Sleepy Eye is now dead. He found the  
carcass laying on the rocks near the water of one of the ponds. There  
was no evidence of physical harm or injury, so the suspicion is that  
this bird died of an illness. Which makes sense considering it was  
seen sitting on the berm for most of yesterday.

Anyone interested in taking the body for study/taxidermy should contact Brian.
