There were not too many gulls around today but a few were circling 

around the western outflow of Black Dog Lake in Burnsville (~1/4 mile 

east of 35W on Black Dog Road).  A Glaucous Gull was present when I 

arrived and was observed by several people.  A Thayer's Gull showed up 

a little later.

There also was an interesting hawk along the edge of the Burnsville 

Landfill (end of Washburn Ave, north of Hwy 13).  I think it is a dark 

morph "Western" type Red-tailed Hawk but I'd be interested to hear what 

others think.
