Mon. afternoon (2 Jan.) there were 3 Iceland Gulls in the roosting gull flock (~500) east of the power plant at Black Dog L. (Dakota Co.). Two (1st winter, 3rd winter) have been seen (and photographed) previously; the third (adult) is a new arrival. The adult appeared to be nominate glaucoides, not kumlieni: outer primaries (both at rest and in flight) lacked any darker gray markings, and overall the bird looked like a dainty miniature Glaucous Gull. Also present: one 1st winter Glaucous Gull and at least four Thayer's Gulls (two 1st winter, two adult).
