The Franklin's Gulls are still in the field originally described by Larry, however, they are now best viewed from 107th Ave. directly across from the lake. I was able to pick out 4 this afternoon, which fortunately were sort of separate from the rest of the gulls and actively walking around and feeding closer to the road. There were hundreds of gulls and also a large flock of blackbirds and several shorebird species including 4 American Avocets, both yellowlegs, Dowitchers, 2 Wilson's Snipe, a single Stilt Sandpiper, and many Killdeer. A scope would definitely have helped.
