Despite Stearns County having one of the top 10 county lists in the sta= te and a history of bird observations that goes back to Zebulon Pike and T= .S. Roberts, there are no records that I am aware of for the following spec= ies: Glaucous Gull, Iceland Gull, any black-backed gull species, Long-taile= d Duck (the duck formerly known as Oldsquaw), Black (Common) Scoter, and Northern Raven If anyone has a record of these species I'd like to not= e this both for my manuscript on the birds of this county and Bob Janssen= 's county checklist. Please send any details of observations of these bir= ds with dates and numbers to me offline at [email protected]. As freezeu= p occurs in the next several weeks, this would be a great opportunity to search for these species in the county and carve your name into Stearns= County ornithological history.
