Hi Everyone, 
�
At 11:00 today I arrived at Lapidum where I�spent two hours searching for the Little Gull.�When I first arrived�it was quite foggy and there was not a lot of bird activity.�Things picked up as time passed and after an hour of�sorting through the Bonaparte's,�the Little Gull passed by (mid river or so) with a group of 4 Bonnies! The dark underwings, wing shape, size and flight gave it away and I had good views for about 15 seconds before they cruised up river towards the opposite side. 
�
I tried for another hour to relocate the bird to no avail. As time passed, it seemed�many of�the Bonaparte's Gulls were headed up river mostly staying closer to the opposite side. I had a great time studying all the Bonaparte's today�but left feeling cross eyed after trying to turn each distant Bonny into the Little. It was well worth the effort!�Happy birding......
