Thanks to Lisa Shannon's prompt post, I was able to rush over to Riley's Lock
and see one of the LIttle Gulls.  Actually I saw it within ten seconds of
arrival at the upper level bridge.

The adult, full breeding (alternate) plumage birds are working between the
Seneca breaks just above Violette's Lock upstream about a mile to just
downstream from the first big island.  They are flying with small numbers of
Bonaparte's Gulls hawking insects over the water.

Conditions look favorable for them to be there for the day.
