Today, in the northwestern quadrant of Pearl Lake (Stearns County, Maine Prairie Twp.), there was an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull. One wonders - OK, I wonder - if this is the same individual that spent about a month at Pearl Lake late last fall.
Also, at Grand Lake in adjacent Rockville Twp. (also Stearns Co.), there was a female/immature Black Scoter along the lake's east shore. Phil Chu Department of Biology St. John's University Collegeville, MN 56321
