Have noted a dramatically increased number of Little Gull reports this year in Minnesota & Wisconsin (including two of our own) - if I remember correctly, as many as seven on one occasion.
So, are we as birders just being more observant...or has there been a population increase...or has some natural phenomenon pushed more into the Great Lakes region...or? Any facts or speculation? Good birding to all! Al Schirmacher Princeton, MN Mille Lacs & Sherburne Counties
