RE: Franklins Gull in cecil possibility
 
the same thought crossed mind; however I was late for work and had no time to look....  After the DELUGE that we just got up here in the norhtern end of the state (and given the behavior of gull flocks) I would gather that they are long gone, but may roost again in the same field or at the nearby North East Town Park....
 
-May look closer tomorrow....  Also I am looking forward to seeing what this cold front brings to Turkey Point tomorrow.
-Had my FOS (Yard) White-thrated Sparrows calling this morning...
