Peder Svingen also called me with directions to the adult Arctic Tern at Big Stone NWR in Lac Qui Parle County, although reception was poor and I'm not sure I got all of the directions.
He said it was initially seen at 11:45 am from Ruby Red Peninsula, which is a walk-in access only, about a mile east of County Road 15. It was foraging along the west side of the east pool. It is an adult in alternate plumage, and Peder and Phil saw no other white-winged terns at the refuge. As far as I know, this would be one of the few inland records for Minnesota. Jim Lind
