[mou] MN Photo Gallery - 422 species

[David A. Cahlander]

The MOU Photo Gallery now has 422 species.  Photos from past copies of The Loon provided many of the missing accedental species.  Thanks to Bob Janssen for the loan of his copies to scan and add to the gallery.  

The birds still missing are:
  Ferruginous Hawk
  Common Eider
  Willow Ptarmigan
  Crested Caracara
  Black Rail
  Purple Gallinule
  Dovekie
  White-throated Swift
  Williamson's Sapsucker
  Violet-green Swallow
  Hermit Warbler
  Kirtland's Warbler
  MacGillivray's Warbler
  Painted Redstart
  Brewer's Sparrow
  Eskimo Curlew
The 16 species give a species count of 438 instead of 434 (The current MN species count).  This is because some of the photographs are of birds that are on the AOU checklist, but are not on the MN checklist.  They were photographed in the wild, but may have been escapes.

Many of the photographes scanned from The Loon are candidates for improved images.  In the past many of the photographs were published in Black-and-White.
