An adult lesser black-backed gull at Lake Calhoun, Minneapolis, today at 4:20 pm, in a loose raft with about 6 ring-billed gulls, visible from both the NW and NE shores.
Last year Linda Sparling told me about the lesser black-backed gull on Calhoun--that was on 9/20 last fall. Otherwise Lake Harriet, Calhoun, Nokomis, and Hiawatha had the regulars: ring-billed gulls, pied-billed grebes, coots, and several common loons. Yesterday Nokomis had a single Franklin's gull with the ring-billeds and a few days prior there was a single herring gull. Diana Doyle S. Minneapolis
