I'm very glad that Doug Kieser was able to re-find the Sabine's Gull I found this morning. I tried to relocate the bird with Brian Smith after my initial find and I only had distant views while the bird was flying at the south side of the lake. This lake has amazing habitat but the south side is inaccessible and too distant to see with a scope if there is heat distortion. As a warning, do not attempt to go out on the mud on this lake. I saw what looked like a place that I could go around the lake edge and ended up well past my ankles in mud (luckily I had brought a spare pair of shoes and socks.) There was an unfortunate fawn on the other side of the lake that didn't look as lucky as me. It looked like it was truly stuck in the mud, like quicksand. Other birds of interest: Yesterday I found a male Black-throated Blue Warbler on the south side of Minnehaha Creek just east of Dupont. The Leconte's Sparrows are still present at Severance WMA but to the south and east of the previous pins. The Eared Grebe is still present at the Gaylord sewage ponds.
Good birding!
