[mou] Duluth & Superior

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

Nathan & I traveled north on Saturday to Duluth & Superior, concentrating on 
Park, Minnesota & Wisconsin Points.  Highlights included:

* Two Parasitic Jaegers (MN & WI Points)

* One probable Pomarine Jaeger (distant but larger, more lethargic than 
Parasitic in same area)

* Little Gull (first stop, believe it's the 12th Street access on Park 
Point)

* Franklin's Gull (WI Point)

* American Golden-Plovers, Ruddy Turnstone, Red-necked Phalarope, 
Sanderlings (first three in Wisconsin)

* American Pipit (Wisconsin Point)

* Six warblers (Park Point)

* Snow Buntings & White-crowned Sparrows (MN Point)

* And, a mystery gull in the boat access parking lot across from the soccer 
fields.  Gull was an obvious immature, generally Ring-billed in size, but 
leaner, with very dark red legs, dark striping around the eye and a black 
tail band.  Size limits our options - would appreciate input.  Are there 
occasional immy RB's with very dark red legs?  Is a Mew even a possibility 
on Park Point?

Thanks!
