I don't think the Mpls lakes are in a Xmas bird count circle. The north edge of the Bloomington count just grazes Diamond Lake Rd (54 th St). The lakes are usually frozen by now Warren ________________________________________ From: Minnesota Birds [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Conny Brunell [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 11:05 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [mou-net] Great Black-backed & Lesser Black-backed Gulls ~ Hennepin Co. This morning on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Hennepin County between 8:00 - 8:30 am both the adult Great Black-backed Gull, and an adult Lesser Black-backed Gull were roosting relatively close to each other on the ice. They were with about 100 Gulls still lingering on the ice and all of them departed at once. I do not know who has this location in their CBC count.
