A belated report from Back River from Thursday -- we saw about 300 Bonaparte's
Gulls, one Laughing Gull (as Gene S. reported), and an adult LESSER BLACK=
BACKED GULL in summer plumage (clean white head) along with about 25 Ring-bills
roosting on the mud flat upstream of the Eastern Ave. bridge.

There was no sign of the Common Yellow-throat we found there a few weeks
ago, however.
