The garbage must be good there. Only a couple of hundred laughing Gulls with a few Ring-billed were present. We tried to get into Brown Station Road and were denied access on Saturday. You need to have an appointment. I will check this week to see if I can get permission for us and other birders and report back. It is prime time to be looking for Franklin's Gulls and Brown Station Road Landfill has been the most reliable spot for me. Today at the house the hawk flight was OK. Two Bald Eagles, one Sharp-shinned, one Coopers, and two Red-tailed so far. I also had two Rock Doves, a year bird for the property. Good birding.
