[mou-net] Kittiwakes, Duluth

[MOU admin]

(Posted by John Richardson  via moumn.org)

At least one of the Kitties was seen by 20-ish people around 4PM. The said bird 
was visible 
from canal park with the naked eye at times, but kept out of good photo 
distance, although 
there was some great pictures taken. It was seen patrolling back and forth over 
the lake. 
We were looking from the channel towards Duluth. It could be seen from past 
land to the 
east, and west towards Fitgers.
