Mike Hendrickson and I observed eight species of gulls between 1:35  
and 3:05 PM today (11/21) at the Superior Entry. The Entry can be  
reached by hiking for about 2 miles past Sky Harbor Airport on Park  
Point in Duluth, or by driving to the tip of Wisconsin Point via  
Moccasin Mike Road in east Superior. Most unusual was a first-cycle  
California Gull spotted by Mike on the Minnesota breakwall at 1:50 PM.  
The other seven species were seen on both sides of the state line.

Our totals for the afternoon included 19 Ring-billed Gulls, 512  
Herring Gulls, 8 first-cycle and 3 adult Thayer's Gulls, 2 first-cycle  
and one adult Iceland Gulls, a first-cycle Lesser Black-backed Gull, 3  
first-cycle Glaucous Gulls, and one first-cycle, one second-cycle, and  
one adult Great Black-backed Gulls. Later that same afternoon, we  
joined Karl Bardon, Jane Hosking, and Andrew Longtin at Canal Park and  
saw an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull, two more Glaucous Gulls (one of  
these in second-cycle plumage), and another adult Great Black-backed  
Gull.
