A birding friend from St. Louis sent us information about an Ivory Gull being 
seen on the Mississippi River near Quincy, Illinois.  Just thought I’d post in 
case some Tennessee birder wanted to make a drive that far to see a lifer.  
Information is on the Illinois RBA about where it is being seen today.  We’ve 
debated all afternoon about driving up tomorrow as we have never seen this 
beautiful bird and our hearts say “go” but our old bodies say “another foolish 
idea” for two people in their mid-70’s.  Don’t know which will win out tonight.
