The large flock of Ring-billed Gulls which were residents on Caesar Creek beach have not been seen for several days but this AM there was a lone BONAPARTE'S GULL in its winter plummage. We usually get a goodly number of these small, slick gulls and I hope this is just the advance scout.
Last Summer Day Cheers,  Larry Gara
