Hey everyone-

Got out to Lapidum with my Dad today at around 1:45.  About 10 minutes after arriving, I was just barely able to pick out a Little Gull on the far (Cecil) side of the river, as it banked right next to a Bonaparte's and gave me a clear (though distant) glimpse of the dark underwings compared to the light ones of the Bonie.  Over the next ten minutes, I thought I got a couple more glimpses of the bird, but each was fleeting, and not close to as good as the first view.  Other birders arrived, but were unable to relocate after we left.  Also, five or six Tree Swallows were flying around while we were there.

Good birding,
