A first-cycle Iceland Gull and two Glaucous Gulls were among the flock
of Herring Gulls at Kendall's Smoke House in Knife River, Lake County,

West in Duluth.
The fourth-cycle Great Black-backed Gull that has been seen regularly
at Canal Park and 27th Ave West in Duluth all month was present today
at the mouth of the Talmadge River, Lakewood Township. This bird would
have been visible from the house where Kim Eckert lived about 20 years
ago...
