After watching entries on the Minnesota lists, I stopped at Prescott on Wednesday afternoon on the way to pick up my daughter from school. During the hour or so that I was there, out of a flock of a few hundred gulls, I saw:
Great Black-backed Gull (1st cycle) Glaucous Gull (2 first cycle) Thayer's Gull (2-3 adults) Iceland Gull (1 adult) Herring Gulls Ring-billed Gulls (a couple) I took one picture that shows 7 gulls of 5 species (no Ring-billed) http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2254744390048936665JlEwux Iceland Gull landing: http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/2435126710048936665zxkkfT The Harlequin was on the St. Croix River under the railroad and highway bridges. He spent most of the time on the Minnesota side of the river but did swim across to the Wisconsin side once while I was there. I did not see the 1st cycle Thayer's and Iceland Gulls while I was there but to be honest wasn't looking that hard since I found adults of both species. I also missed the 1st cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull that has been reported. This could have been for a lack of attention to the juveniles that were in the area.
