There was what I believe to be a Glaucous Gull on the smaller west lake by
Lake Vadnais. The bird was easily seen from Vadnais Blvd. I have posted a
couple photos on the Minnesota Birding FB page or if you can't access that,
let me know and I can email a photo to you.

there. Species list below:
Hooded Merganser
Great Egret
Canada Goose
