Anyone that has historical (before today) counts of shorebirds, waterfowl including grebes, pelicans, and ducks, gulls, Black Terns, and other waterbirds and would like to contribute to the nomination of Salt Lake as an Important Bird Area for either the South Dakota or Minnesota portions of the lake, please send your information to me so I can tabulate the data. You may E-mail me or send copies of the data to Bob Russell, Division of Migratory Birds, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1 Federal Drive, Ft. Snelling, MN 55111-4056. Your contribution will be most appreciated and will help assure continued protection for this easternmost alkaline (I think I'm right about this?) lake in all of North America. Thanks, Bob Russell
