[mou] lesser black-backed gull, L. Calhoun, Mpls

[Diana Doyle]

An adult lesser black-backed gull at Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, today  
at 4:20 pm, in a loose raft with about 6 ring-billed gulls, visible  
from both the NW and NE shores.

Last year Linda Sparling told me about the lesser black-backed gull  
on Calhoun--that was on 9/20 last fall.

Otherwise Lake Harriet, Calhoun, Nokomis, and Hiawatha had the  
regulars: ring-billed gulls, pied-billed grebes, coots, and several  
common loons. Yesterday Nokomis had a single Franklin's gull with the  
ring-billeds and a few days prior there was a single herring gull.
