I just saw this posting on the Wisconsin listserve. Maybe this bird will wander into Minnesota.
Jim Lind Subject: Alert-Slaty-backed Gull From: "Korducki" <korducki AT earthlink.net> Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 14:45:59 -0600 I just received word that Robbye Johnson and Larry Semo found an adult Slaty-backed gull at the dump on Wisconsin Point earlier this afternoon. They were able to obtain photos. The birds were flushed out onto the lake by a bulldozer but it is probably still in the area. Larry is a Wisconsin native who now lives in Colorado. He always returns home for deer hunting. Larry and Robbye are both dynamite birders so I have no doubt about their sighting. Good luck everyone! Mark Korducki, New Berlin
