Hello, Today after lunch I drove up to the grade and the Black-headed gull was on the rocks at the footbridge. Also the brown pelican was on the island at Little Spirit Lake in Jackson county, Minn. Yesterday with the strong NW winds the brown pelican was seen at the footbridge in Iowa much of the day. Good Birdin' Ed Thelen Spirit Lake,Iowa

It was very windy out of the WNW and there were no birds on the island. If I have time this evening I'll check again. I would think it should still be in the area. There was a minor fish kill this weekend on Little Spirit and he should have easy pickings. Also I did not find the black-headed gull at the north end of Big Spirit Lake. There were many ring-bills and some franklins plus one white pelican at the footbridge. Good Birdin' Ed Thelen Spirit Lake, Iowa --- This mailing list is sponsored by the Iowa Ornithologists' Union.
