Phil,
Nancy Magnusson, Peter Kaestner, and I saw the Franklin's Gull from 7:00 am
- 8:35 am. It drifted north to Riley's Lock and joined a couple hundred
Boanparte's Gulls. No other birders were seen until about 5 arrived after
9:00. We did not relocate it but the Bonaparte's Gulls had split up moving
north of Riley's and south towards Pennyfield.
