I spent about an hour or two (wish I could have spent more time) at Lake City and Hok-si-la park Wednesday. I was able to find the FRANKLIN'S GULL at the same location as Denny Martin (ie, a loafing flock at Hok-si-la park). Unfortunately, I was not able to locate the GLAUCOUS GULL, but the gull numbers were astounding, both within and outside of scopable range, so it could still be around. Another good location to scope from would be at the point just north of the marina (ie, at the Subway in town, turn towards Lake Pepin on Chestnut; turn right on Harbor Dr; left on Lake St. NW).
Additional finds: REDHEAD (1 male, 1 female) - just south of the marina CANVASBACK (1 female) - just south of the marina AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN - with giant raft of ducks/gulls upriver from marina Dedrick Benz Winona, MN _________________________________________________________________ Experience the magic of the holidays.
